Comparison of Moving Boundary and Finite-Volume Heat Exchanger Models in the Modelica Language

When modeling low capacity energy systems, such as a small size (5–150 kWel) organic Rankine cycle unit, the governing dynamics are mainly concentrated in the heat exchangers. As a consequence, the accuracy and simulation speed of the higher level system model mainly depend on the heat exchanger mod...
