�TE = Tin-ToutTli = temp.losses
Mass flow rate is determined from the fluid mass dynamics taking account of pressure losses and available �pE.
Temperature change is determined from the heat flow estimated from pipe characteristics and int&exttemperatures.
� The first pipe loop can be coupled with the two Dampers.
� Further loops can be added linking them to any pair of nodes of the previous loop.
