Modelica.Media.Examples.Utilities.PortVolume Modelica.Media.Examples.Utilities.PortVolume

Fixed volume associated with a port by the finite volume method

Information

This component models the volume of fixed size that is associated with the fluid port to which it is connected. This means that all medium properties inside the volume, are identical to the port medium properties. In particular, the specific enthalpy inside the volume (= medium.h) is always identical to the specific enthalpy in the port (port.h = medium.h). Usually, this model is used when discretizing a component according to the finite volume method into volumes in internal ports that only store energy and mass and into transport elements that just transport energy, mass and momentum between the internal ports without storing these quantities during the transport.

Modelica.Media.Examples.Utilities.FixedAmbient Modelica.Media.Examples.Utilities.FixedAmbient

Ambient pressure, temperature and mass fraction source

Information

Model FixedAmbient_pt defines constant values for ambient conditions:

Note, that ambient temperature and mass fractions have only an effect if the mass flow is from the ambient into the port. If mass is flowing from the port into the ambient, the ambient definitions, with exception of ambient pressure, do not have an effect.
