varying cylindric volume depending on the position of the piston
Mixing volume with varying size. The size of the volume is given by:
Losses are neglected. The shaft power is completely converted into mechanical work on the fluid.
The flange position has to be equal or greater than zero. Otherwise the simulation stops. The force of the flange results from the pressure difference between medium and ambient pressure and the cross sectional piston area. For using the component, a top level instance of the ambient model with the inner attribute is needed.
The pressure at both fluid ports equals the medium pressure in the volume. No suction nor discharge valve is included in the model.
The thermal port is directly connected to the medium. The temperature of the thermal port equals the medium temperature. The heat capacity of the cylinder and the piston are not includes in the model.

Centrifugal pump with ideally controlled mass flow rate
This model describes a centrifugal pump (or a group of nParallel
pumps)
with ideally controlled mass flow rate or pressure.
Nominal values are used to predefine an exemplary pump characteristics and to define the operation of the pump.
The input connectors m_flow_set
or p_set
can optionally be enabled to provide time varying set points.
Use this model if the pump characteristics is of secondary interest. The actual characteristics can be configured later on for the appropriate rotational speed N. Then the model can be replaced with a Pump with rotational shaft or with a PrescribedPump.

Centrifugal pump with ideally controlled speed
This model describes a centrifugal pump (or a group of nParallel
pumps) with prescribed speed, either fixed or provided by an external signal.

(which can be different from N_nominal
) is assumed.
