Description

The Heated Pipe component is a two-port thermal-fluid component that models a pipe with friction loss, head loss, and heat exchange with a heat port.

The Medium parameter specifies the name of a Thermal-Fluid Media record, which must be in the model at the same or higer level.

The Use default medium boolean parameter, when true, sets the name of the Medium parameter to fluidMedium1, which corresponds to the default name of a fluid medium record. To use a different name, uncheck the box and enter the name in the parameter input that appears.
