[esp-r] Re: Is there any documentation on plant components?

[Oliver Bucks]

Hello.

Yes, I, also, would like to know.

I am still trying to model sewage-sludge drying via solar radiation.

I would be happy to be able to include a plant component which increases 
humidity release from a surface as a function on surface temperature. (Would 
this be possible in absence of a flow-network ) ?

thanks
