Hello everyone,
I am trying to model an electric boiler in simulink. Its a steady state process, so all the physical parameters are neglected and parameters such as volume and pressure remains constans. the equation which i have modelled is as follows

where
ρw = density of water

Vw = volume of water

m. = massflow rate of water

hs = enthalpy of steam

M = mass of metal

Cp = specific heat of metal

Tm = temperature of metal

Ts = temperature of saturated steam

n = number of tubes

D = Dia of tube

L = length of tube

∝ = heat transfer coefficient

When I run the equation I am getting a stepp rise in enthalpy with respect to time. I have attached the image of the equation and graph below. Please verify the equation and guide me through this.
