This just tracks the integration over the temperature increase to give the water temperature restricted to the range 0 °C to 100 °C.

As we'll see later when we run it, there seems to be a slight logic error:

Webel vs SysPhS-1.1: Annex A.5: Humidifier: The water temperature from TemperatureIncreaseConstraint and HeatingCalculationConstraint starts at 0 °C (should probably be the environment temperature 20 °C). Needs an additional parameter and initial value.

Hopefully nobody is putting ice into the water tank!

Notes
[MODELLING, NAVIGATION, PATTERN, TIP, TOOL]{STRONG} UML/SysML: Navigation: Try to offer a way out of a diagram (usually up a hierarchy, but possibly across) using a navigable symbol (linked to a diagram) and/or a diagram symbol. Avoid "cul-de-sacs"!
[MODELLING, PATTERN, TIP]{RECOMMENDED} SysML: When using Property::defaultValue and Property::redefinedValue to carry a "shadow hierarchy" of redefinitions across an entire system hierarchy, considering using a user-defined keyword such as «configuration» or «scenario» on each redefining Block
[CAPABILITY, FEATURE, TOOL] MagicDraw/Cameo: Supports embedding of one or more Diagrams in another via the Diagram Overview feature. Awesome!
[CONVENTION, DISPLAY, STYLE, TIP]{STRONG} Consider creating a "focus" Block Definition Diagram (or Class Diagram) for each main Block (or Class) with expanded feature details and relationships to at least nearest neighbours
[NAMING, TIP]{RECOMMENDED} Suffix the "focus" BDD for a Block with .bdd so that it won't clash with a corresponding IBD on diagram export.
[DISPLAY, STYLE, TIP, TOOL]{SUGGESTED} Style: use line width 2 or 3 on the border of the "focus" element in "focus" diagrams (such as the main Block or Class of a dedicated Block Definition Diagram or Class Diagram)
[CONVENTION, NAMING]{STRONG} Webel: If you must name your Ports or Pins, name them simply 'i', 'o', or 'io' to indicate direction UNLESS you have to indicate a special role like 'iRole', 'oAuxiliary'. DO NOT use Port names like 'input', 'output', etc.
[CAPABILITY, FEATURE, STYLE, TIP] MagicDraw/Cameo: Consider showing the constraint parameter name and type label inside the small rectangular parameter symbol on SysML Parametric Diagrams!
[ISSUE] Webel vs SysPhS-1.1: Annex A.5: Humidifier: Dimensional analysis of VaporPressureCalculationConstraint implies each 1 mL of water is equated with EXACTLY 1 g of produced vapor.
[ISSUE]{STRICT} Webel vs SysPhS-1.1: Annex A.5: Humidifier: The water temperature from TemperatureIncreaseConstraint and HeatingCalculationConstraint starts at 0 °C (should probably be the environment temperature 20 °C). Needs an additional parameter and initial value.
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
 The volumetric heat capacity of a material is the heat capacity of a sample of the substance divided by the volume of the sample.
  Informally, it is the amount of energy that must be added, in the form of heat, to one unit of volume of the material in order to cause an increase of one unit in its temperature.
  The SI unit of volumetric heat capacity is joule per kelvin per cubic meter, J/K/m3 or J/(K·m3).
 The volumetric heat capacity can also be expressed as the specific heat capacity (heat capacity per unit of mass, in J/K/kg) times the density of the substance (in kg/L, or g/mL).
 Isobaric volumetric heat capacity C(P,v) J⋅cm−3⋅K−1 of liquid Water at 25 °C = 4.1796
 Isobaric volumetric heat capacity C(P,v) J⋅cm−3⋅K−1 of liquid Water at 100 °C = 4.2160
