modelPartialFlowSensor

Partial component to model sensors that measure flow properties

Extends from IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPort.

Information

Partial component to model a sensor. The sensor is ideal. It does not influence mass, energy, species or substance balance, and it has no flow friction.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Nominal condition
Modelica.SIunits.MassFlowRatem_flow_nominalNominal mass flow rate, used for regularization near zero flow
Advanced
Modelica.SIunits.MassFlowRatem_flow_small1E-4*m_flow_nominalFor bi-directional flow, temperature is regularized in the region |m_flow| < m_flow_small (m_flow_small > 0 required)

Revisions

  • August 15, 2015, by Filip Jorissen:
    Implemented more efficient computation of port_a.Xi_outflow, port_a.h_outflow and port_a.C_outflow when allowFlowReversal=false. This is for #281.
  • June 19, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
    Moved m_flow_small to the Advanced tab as it usually need not be changed by the user. Other models such as heat exchangers also have this parameter on the Advanced tab.
  • February 12, 2011, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation. Implementation is based on Modelica.Fluid.
