Engine Room: TEG2 not generating meaningful power #151

Description

@DameonOwen

Brief description of the issue

Engine Room - TEG2 radiators are not on space tiles, and are instead on plating

What you expected to happen

Radiators should cool the engine exhaust gas, allowing for the TEG to function properly

What actually happened

Radiators are trying to heat the air on the plating tiles (which there is none, because space) instead of radiating to space (space tiles only). This results in only a 1.3K decrease in exhaust gas temperature at 1250K input steady state, making the hot loop cooler then the cooling loop at time of observation, and generating 55kW. At time of observation, TEG1 was generating 800kW with approximately 150K decrease in exhaust gas temperature.

Steps to reproduce

  • Turn on the engine
  • Wait

Anything else you may wish to add:

Solution: Extend radiators until they are in space tiles for TEG2, or eliminate TEG2.
