Heater¶
The Heater model is a simple 0D model that adds or removes heat from a material stream.
Example¶
import pyomo.environ as pe # Pyomo environment
from idaes.core import FlowsheetBlock, StateBlock
from idaes.unit_models import Heater
from idaes.property_models import iapws95
# Create an empty flowsheet and steam property parameter block.
model = pe.ConcreteModel()
model.fs = FlowsheetBlock(default={"dynamic": False})
model.fs.properties = iapws95.Iapws95ParameterBlock()
# Add a Heater model to the flowsheet.
model.fs.heater = Heater(default={"property_package": model.fs.properties})
# Setup the heater model by fixing the inputs and heat duty
model.fs.heater.inlet[:].enth_mol.fix(4000)
model.fs.heater.inlet[:].flow_mol.fix(100)
model.fs.heater.inlet[:].pressure.fix(101325)
model.fs.heater.heat_duty[:].fix(100*20000)
# Initialize the model.
model.fs.heater.initialize()
Degrees of Freedom¶
Aside from the inlet conditions, a heater model usually has one degree of freedom, which is the heat duty.
Model Structure¶
A heater model contains one ControlVolume0DBlock block.
Variables¶
The heat_duty variable is a reference to control_volume.heat.
Constraints¶
A heater model contains no additional constraints beyond what are contained in
a ControlVolume0DBlock model.
Heater Class¶
-
class
idaes.unit_models.heat_exchanger.Heater(*args, **kwargs)¶ Simple 0D heater/cooler model.
Parameters: - rule (function) – A rule function or None. Default rule calls build().
- concrete (bool) – If True, make this a toplevel model. Default - False.
- ctype (str) – Pyomo ctype of the block. Default - “Block”
- default (dict) –
Default ProcessBlockData config
- Keys
- dynamic
- Indicates whether this model will be dynamic or not, default = useDefault. Valid values: { useDefault - get flag from parent (default = False), True - set as a dynamic model, False - set as a steady-state model.}
- has_holdup
- Indicates whether holdup terms should be constructed or not. Must be True if dynamic = True, default - False. Valid values: { True - construct holdup terms, False - do not construct holdup terms}
- material_balance_type
- Indicates what type of mass balance should be constructed, default - MaterialBalanceType.componentPhase. Valid values: { MaterialBalanceType.none - exclude material balances, MaterialBalanceType.componentPhase - use phase component balances, MaterialBalanceType.componentTotal - use total component balances, MaterialBalanceType.elementTotal - use total element balances, MaterialBalanceType.total - use total material balance.}
- energy_balance_type
- Indicates what type of energy balance should be constructed, default - EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyTotal. Valid values: { EnergyBalanceType.none - exclude energy balances, EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyTotal - single enthalpy balance for material, EnergyBalanceType.enthalpyPhase - enthalpy balances for each phase, EnergyBalanceType.energyTotal - single energy balance for material, EnergyBalanceType.energyPhase - energy balances for each phase.}
- momentum_balance_type
- Indicates what type of momentum balance should be constructed, default - MomentumBalanceType.pressureTotal. Valid values: { MomentumBalanceType.none - exclude momentum balances, MomentumBalanceType.pressureTotal - single pressure balance for material, MomentumBalanceType.pressurePhase - pressure balances for each phase, MomentumBalanceType.momentumTotal - single momentum balance for material, MomentumBalanceType.momentumPhase - momentum balances for each phase.}
- has_phase_equilibrium
- Indicates whether terms for phase equilibrium should be constructed, default = False. Valid values: { True - include phase equilibrium terms False - exclude phase equilibrium terms.}
- has_pressure_change
- Indicates whether terms for pressure change should be constructed, default - False. Valid values: { True - include pressure change terms, False - exclude pressure change terms.}
- property_package
- Property parameter object used to define property calculations, default - useDefault. Valid values: { useDefault - use default package from parent model or flowsheet, PropertyParameterObject - a PropertyParameterBlock object.}
- property_package_args
- A ConfigBlock with arguments to be passed to a property block(s) and used when constructing these, default - None. Valid values: { see property package for documentation.}
- initialize (dict) – ProcessBlockData config for individual elements. Keys are BlockData indexes and values are dictionaries described under the “default” argument above.
- idx_map (function) – Function to take the index of a BlockData element and return the index in the initialize dict from which to read arguments. This can be provided to overide the default behavior of matching the BlockData index exactly to the index in initialize.
Returns: (Heater) New instance
