modelEntropyFlowRate

Ideal entropy flow rate sensor

Extends from BuildingSystems.Fluid.Sensors.BaseClasses.PartialDynamicFlowSensor, Modelica.Icons.RoundSensor.

Information

This model outputs the entropy flow rate of the medium in the flow between fluid ports. The sensor is ideal, i.e., it does not influence the fluid.

If the parameter tau is non-zero, then the measured specific entropy sout that is used to compute the entropy flow rate Ṡ = ṁ sout is computed using a first order differential equation. See BuildingSystems.Fluid.Sensors.UsersGuide for an explanation.
