Thermal:HeatSource:ConstantHeatSource
	6.4.1. Material Properties

Name

Thermal:HeatSource:ConstantHeatSource — A source or sink of heat flux.

Details

Property Category: HeatSource
Parameters:

rate

Rate of energy increase. Type: A real number.
Equations: Heat_Eqn

Description

The Heat Source Property sets the quantity $\dot{Q}$ in the Heat Equation, (6.118), to rate. A positive rate will tend to increase the Temperature locally (assuming a positive heat capacity).
