Description

This model is capable of monitoring the heat flow rate flowing throughthis component. The sensed value of heat flow rate is the amount thatpasses through this sensor while keeping the temperature drop across thesensor zero. This is an ideal model so it does not absorb any energyand it has no direct effect on the thermal response of a system it is included in.The output signal is positive, if the heat flows from port_a to port_b.
