modelMassFlowRate

Generic mass flow rate source - Overdetermined (1 equation)

Extends from ThermofluidStream.Interfaces.SISOFlow.

Information

Model for specifying the mass flow rate.

The model is locally overdetermined (one extra equation) and therefore must be connected to an underdetermined model (e.g., Sink_free) to ensure that the overall system remains balanced.
