Ideally mixed volume of constant size with two fluid ports and
one medium model. The flow properties are computed from the
upstream quantities, pressures are equal in both nodes and the
medium model if use_portsData=false
. Heat transfer
through a thermal port is possible, it equals zero if the port
remains unconnected. A spherical shape is assumed for the heat
transfer area, with V=4/3*pi*r^3, A=4*pi*r^2. Ideal heat transfer
is assumed per default; the thermal port temperature is equal to
the medium temperature.
If use_portsData=true
, the port pressures represent
the pressures just after the outlet (or just before the inlet) in
the attached pipe. The hydraulic resistances
portsData.zeta_in
and portsData.zeta_out
determine the dissipative pressure drop between volume and port
depending on the direction of mass flow. See VesselPortsData
and [Idelchik, Handbook of Hydraulic Resistance,
2004].
