Configuration

This page explains how to configure and customize the Energy-Exergy Analysis Engine for your specific needs.

System Parameters

Reference Temperature

The reference temperature (T0) is crucial for exergy calculations. It represents the dead state temperature:

system.T0 = 10  # Reference temperature in °C

Note

The reference temperature should represent the ambient conditions. Typical values are 0°C, 10°C, or 25°C.

Default Values

Each system class comes with sensible default values for physical properties:

  • Water density: 1000 kg/m³

  • Water specific heat: 4186 J/(kg·K)

  • Air density: 1.2 kg/m³

  • Insulation thermal conductivity: 0.03 W/(m·K)

You can override these defaults by setting the attributes directly:

EB = enex.ElectricBoiler()
EB.k_ins = 0.04  # Custom insulation conductivity
EB.rho_w = 995   # Custom water density

Advanced Configuration

For more complex scenarios, you can:

  • Modify subsystem parameters

  • Adjust calculation tolerances iterative solvers

  • Customize output formats

See the User Guide for detailed examples.
