System modeling. System modeling is a practice to illustrate the details of a system’s architecture. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is described as the “lingua franca” of communicating software systems (Xxxxx & Selic, 2003) and utilized by others designing GUIs for NTD global management (Oluwagbemi & Oladunni, 2010). UML graphically displays how components of the system interact with one another and allow for clearer exchange for multifarious stakeholders. This thesis utilizes a Use Case diagram (Figure 3), which has been widely referenced as one of the most effective tools to describe the actions that occur when using a device (Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2007). Additionally, a Sequence Diagram (Figure 4) is included as this graphic relays valuable information regarding a computer program’s chronological order of events (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2004). These UML graphics assist in displaying the code and mechanisms functioning beneath the gloss of the user-interface.
System modeling. The goal of this task is to produce detailed physical models of the heat pump system and its components. The Recipient shall: • Develop analytical and numerical models of the physics of system operation at varying levels of fidelity describing: o The thermodynamic state of the working fluid throughout the cycle o The heat transfer behavior of the working gas and/or piston liquid in the heat input/output and regeneration regions of the system o The fluid dynamic behavior of the working gas and piston liquid o The kinematics and dynamics of the piston subsystem o The behavior of the electrical motor and power electronics subsystem o Energy and exergy losses for the system • Prepare a Modeling Report that discusses all the above elements, including changes and improvements, if needed, and impact on the project. The Modeling Report should not include the detail of technical information that would inadvertently disclose Intellectual Property prematurely (e.g., prior to the preparation of patent applications). • Prepare a CPR Report #1 in accordance with subtask 1.2. Product: • Modeling Report (draft and final) • CPR Report #1 (draft and final)
