modelDuctManifoldFlowDistributor

Manifold for duct inlet that distributes the mass flow rate equally

Extends from PartialDuctManifold.

Information

This model distributes the mass flow rates equally between all instances of port_b.

The model connects the flows between the ports without modeling flow friction. The model is used in conjunction with a manifold that is added to the other side of the heat exchanger registers.

Note: It is important that there is an equal pressure drop in each flow leg between this model, and the model that collects the flows. Otherwise, no solution may exist. Hence, only use this model if you know what you are doing.

    Reformulated the multiple iterators in the sum function as this language construct is not supported in OpenModelica.
