Class
    Foam::fv::effectivenessHeatExchanger
 
Description
    Heat exchanger model, based on an effectiveness
 
    The total heat exchange source is given by:
    \f[
        Q_t = e(\phi, \dot{m}_2) (T_2 - T_1) \phi c_p
    \f]
 
    where:
    \vartable
        Q_t       | total heat source
        e(\phi,\dot{m}_2) | effectiveness table
        \phi      | net mass flux entering heat exchanger [kg/s]
        \dot{m}_2 | secondary mass flow rate [kg/s]
        T_1       | primary inlet temperature [K]
        T_2       | secondary inlet temperature [K]
        c_p       | specific heat capacity [J/kg/K]
    \endvartable
 
    The distribution inside the hear exchanger is given by:
    \f[
        Q_c = \frac{V_c |U_c| (T_c - T_{ref})}{\sum(V_c |U_c| (T_c - T_{ref}))}
    \f]
 
    where:
    \vartable
        Q_c     | source for cell
        V_c     | volume of the cell [m^3]
        U_c     | local cell velocity [m/s]
        T_c     | local call temperature [K]
        T_{ref} | min or max(T) in cell zone depending on the sign of Q_t [K]
    \endvartable
 
Usage
    Example usage:
    \verbatim
    effectivenessHeatExchanger1
    {
        type                    effectivenessHeatExchanger;
 
        cellZone                porosity;
 
        secondaryMassFlowRate   1.0;
        secondaryInletT         336;
        primaryInletT           293;
 
        faceZone                facesZoneInletOriented;
 
        effectiveness           <function2>;
    }
    \endverbatim
 
    Note:
      - The effectiveness Function2 is described in terms of the primary and
        secondary mass flow rates and has the same units as the secondary mass
        flow rate and kg/s for phi.
      - faceZone is the faces at the inlet of the cellzone, it needs to be
        created with flip map flags. It is used to integrate the net mass flow
        rate into the heat exchanger
