  • insulation_thickness (float, optional) – Thickness of the insulation layer (m). The default is 0.034.

  • length (float, optional) – Length of the pipe (m). The default is 1.0.

  • k_insulation (float, optional) – Thermal conductivity of insulation (W/(m·K)). The default is 0.026.

  • roughness (float, optional) – Roughness of the internal pipe surface (mm). The default is 0.045.

  • k_internal_pipe (float, optional) – Thermal conductivity of the pipe (W/(m·K)). The default is 45.0.

  • internal_pipe_thickness (float, optional) – Thickness of the pipe (m). The default is 0.023.

  • k_casing (float, optional) – Thermal conductivity of the casing (W/(m·K)). The default is 0.4.

  • casing_thickness (float, optional) – Thickness of the casing (m). The default is 0.003.

  • discretization (flaot, optional) – Length of segments for discretizing the pipe (m). The default is 10.

  • dz (float, optional) – Altitude difference between the endpoints (m). The default is 0.

  • line (str, optional) – Either “supply” or “return”. The default is None.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Additional keyord arguments.

Return type:

None.
