Modelica.Thermal.FluidHeatFlow.Sensors

Ideal sensors to measure port properties

Information

This package contains sensors:

pSensor: absolute pressure
TSensor: absolute temperature (Kelvin)
dpSensor: pressure drop between flowPort_a and flowPort_b
dTSensor: temperature difference between flowPort_a and flowPort_b
m_flowSensor: measures mass flow rate
V_flowSensor: measures volume flow rate
H_flowSensor: measures enthalpy flow rate

Some of the sensors do not need access to medium properties for measuring, but it is necessary to define the medium in the connector (check of connections). Thermodynamic equations are defined in partial models (package Interfaces.Partials). All sensors are considered massless, they do not change mass flow or enthalpy flow.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.SensorsPackage (Icon for packages containing sensors).

Temperature difference sensor

Information

dTSensor measures the temperature difference between flowPort_a and flowPort_b.
Thermodynamic equations are defined by Partials.RelativeSensor.
Note: Connected flowPorts have the same temperature (mixing temperature)!
Since mixing my occur, the outlet temperature of a component may be different from the connector's temperature.
Outlet temperature is defined by variable T of the corresponding component.
