Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.SimpleAir

Information

This medium model is similar to Modelica.Media.Air.SimpleAir, except that the gas density is constant.

The use of a constant density avoids having pressure as a state variable in mixing volumes. Hence, fast transients introduced by a change in pressure are avoided. The drawback is that the dimensionality of the coupled nonlinear equation system is typically larger for flow networks.

As in Modelica.Media.Air.SimpleAir, the specific enthalpy h and specific internal energy u are only a function of temperature T and all other provided medium quantities are constant.

Extends from Buildings.Media.Interfaces.PartialSimpleIdealGasMedium (Medium model of Ideal gas with constant cp and cv. All other quantities, e.g. transport properties, are constant.).
