Figure 1.2: System Comb: acausal bond graph

The acausal bond graph of system Comb is displayed in Figure 1.2 (on page ) and its label file is listed in Section 1.1.3 (on page ). The subsystems are listed in Section 1.1.3 (on page ).

This thermal tank model has been developed to represent an ideal (and non-dynamic) combustion chamber for a gas turbine. The major simplification is that the mass contained in the tank is assumed constant - this is consistent with using an ideal compressor and an ideal turbine with identical mass flows. Energy conservatioin is ensured by using true bonds and TF components.
