Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.Conversions.MassFractionVolumeFraction

Information

This component converts mass fraction to volume fraction for an ideal gas. The default value for the parameter MMBul assumes that the bulk medium is air. The model assumes that the concentration of the measured specy is small enough to be neglected in the molar mass of the mixture.
