TITLE
User-defined variables:
REAL(CAPM,COEF1O,COEF2O,COEFMO)
CAPM=0.1;COEFMO=CAPM/DELT
In order to accelerate convergence a simple version of the
"partial-elimination algorithm" is employed. This entails
eliminating the late-time metal temperature from the
equations for heat transfer from fluid to metal. Then each
fluid is connected thermally with the other fluid and with
the temperature of the early-time metal. This technique
could be further extended with advantage.
The heat-transfer resistance offered by the metal is
accounted for implicitly in the values which are ascribed
to COEF1 and COEF2.
COEF12=COEF1*COEF2/(COEF1+COEF2+COEFMO)
COEF1O=COEF1*COEFMO/(COEF1+COEF2+COEFMO)
COEF2O=COEF2*COEFMO/(COEF1+COEF2+COEFMO)
Arrange that metal temperature, named METL, occupies
store with index 1 above 2NDH and 2 above 1STH.
SOLVE(C1);NAME(C1)=METL;TERMS(METL,N,N,N,Y,N,N)
FIINIT(METL)=0.5*(T1IN+T2IN)
Repeat the COVALs using COEF12, which has changed
since it was calculated for case 2.
