Package Sensors consists of idealized sensor components that provide variables of a medium model and/or fluid ports as output signals. These signals can be, e.g., further processed with components of the Modelica.Blocks library. Also more realistic sensor models can be built, by further processing (e.g., by attaching block Modelica.Blocks.FirstOrder to model the time constant of the sensor).
For the thermodynamic state variables temperature, specific entalpy, specific entropy and density the fluid library provides two different types of sensors: regular one port and two port sensors.
Modelica.Fluid.Examples.Explanatory.MeasuringTemperature demonstrates the differences between one- and two-port sensor at hand of a simple example.
