<div>Dear Jeff</div><div><br></div><div>I was reading a paper. In the paper, the authors claimed a conclusion based on TRNSYS simulation. In the paper as I sent you the Figs, there is no pump for water circulation in the closed circuit. I wonder if it is possible to set a flow rate in a closed loop circuit without having pump using valve options instead, at least in TRNSYS 16. Not sure about the latest TRNSYS.</div><div><br></div><div>Arian</div><div><br></div>
