modelPhaseSeparator

Base model for receiver and accumulator models

Extends from Internal.PartialVolume.

Information

This Volume is the parent class for Accumulator and Receiver models that separate the two phases and are able to output gas, liquid or two-phase medium, depending on its liquid level and the height of the outlet.

Since there is no formula to compute density_derp_h for this volume, an upper bound has to be set in the parameter density_derp_h_set. Alternativeley the derivative can be taken from the media model for all the media that implement the corresponding formula by setting density_derp_h_from_media=true (default:false).
