Dear TRNSYS users,
I have some problems understanding the parameters that I have to provide for Type 39 - Variable Volume Tank.
I must provide a Cross-sectional Area AND a Tank Circumference. Isn't that a little bit redundant? I mean, if we assume that the tank is cylindrical (and I also don't know if it's vertical or horizontal) then we can know the circumference by knowing the area.
Maybe I am not understanding the shape of the tank. I also think it's weird to provide a "circumference", I would think it's more logical to provide a radius instead.
I would be very grateful if you can tell me what does each of these parameters mean (circumference and cross sectional area) and what is the actual configuration of the tank (vertical, horizontal, what is the shape, etc).
Thanks!
Regards,
Adrian Riebel
