Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Boundary_pT

Boundary with prescribed pressure, temperature, composition and trace substances

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Boundary_pT

Information

Defines prescribed values for boundary conditions:

Prescribed boundary pressure.
Prescribed boundary temperature.
Boundary composition (only for multi-substance or trace-substance flow).

If use_p_in is false (default option), the p parameter is used as boundary pressure, and the p_in input connector is disabled; if use_p_in is true, then the p parameter is ignored, and the value provided by the input connector is used instead.

The same thing goes for the temperature, composition and trace substances.

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

Extends from Modelica.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource (Partial component source with one fluid connector).

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.FixedBoundary

Boundary source component

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.FixedBoundary

Information

Model FixedBoundary defines constant values for boundary conditions:

Boundary pressure or boundary density.
Boundary temperature or boundary specific enthalpy.
Boundary composition (only for multi-substance or trace-substance flow).

Note, that boundary temperature, density, specific enthalpy, mass fractions and trace substances have only an effect if the mass flow is from the Boundary into the port. If mass is flowing from the port into the boundary, the boundary definitions, with exception of boundary pressure, do not have an effect.

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.PrescribedExtraPropertyFlowRate

Source with mass flow that does not take part in medium mass balance (such as CO2)

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.PrescribedExtraPropertyFlowRate

Information

This model adds a mass flow rate to the port for an auxiliary medium that does not take part in the mass balance of the medium model. Instead, this mass transfer is tracked separately. A typical use of this source is to add carbon dioxide to a room, since the carbon dioxide concentration is typically so small that it need not be added to the room mass balance.

Extends from Modelica.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource (Partial component source with one fluid connector).

Parameters

Type Name Default Description

replaceable package Medium PartialMedium Medium model within the source

String substanceName "CO2" Name of trace substance

Boolean use_m_flow_in false Get the trace substance mass flow rate from the input connector

MassFlowRate m_flow 0 Fixed mass flow rate going out of the fluid port [kg/s]
