Partial mixing volume that allows adding or subtracting water vapor

Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.BaseClasses.PartialMixingVolumeWaterPort

Information


Model for an ideally mixed fluid volume with nP ports and the ability 
to store mass and energy. The volume is fixed. 

This model represents the same physics as Modelica.Fluid.Vessels.Volume but in addition, it allows to connect signals for the water exchanged with the volume. The model is partial in order to allow a submodel that can be used with media that contain water as a substance, and a submodel that can be used with dry air. Having separate models is required because calls to the medium property function enthalpyOfLiquid results in a linker error if a medium such as Modelica.Media.Air.SimpleAir is used that does not implement this function.

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialLumpedVolume (Lumped volume with mass and energy balance).
