Base class for pressure and mass flow source with optional power input

Extends from IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.IdealSource.

Information

Model of a fictitious pipe that is used as a base class for a pressure source or to prescribe a mass flow rate.

Note that for fans and pumps with dynamic balance, both the heat and the flow work are added to the volume of air or water. This simplifies the equations compared to adding heat to the volume, and flow work to this model.

Revisions

  • October 8, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
    Removed parameter show_V_flow.
  • May 25, 2011 by Michael Wetter:
    Removed the option to add power to the medium, as this is dealt with in the volume that is used in the mover model.
  • July 27, 2010 by Michael Wetter:
    Redesigned model to fix bug in medium balance.
  • April 13, 2010 by Michael Wetter:
    Made heat connector optional.
  • March 23, 2010 by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
