IdealPump

Model of an ideal pump

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

Simple fan resp. pump where characteristic is dependent on shaft's speed,
torque * speed = pressure increase * volume flow (without losses)
Pressure increase versus volume flow is defined by a linear function, from dp0(V_flow=0) to V_flow0(dp=0).
The axis intersections vary with speed as follows:

  • dp prop. speed^2
  • V_flow prop. speed

Coolant's temperature and enthalpy flow are not affected.
Setting parameter m (mass of medium within fan/pump) to zero leads to neglection of temperature transient cv*m*der(T).
Thermodynamic equations are defined by Partials.TwoPort.
