Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortHeatMassExchanger

Information

This component transports one fluid stream. It provides the basic model for implementing dynamic and steady-state models that exchange heat and water vapor with the fluid stream. The model also computes the pressure drop due to the flow resistance. By setting the parameter dp_nominal=0, the computation of the pressure drop can be avoided. The variable vol.heatPort.T always has the value of the temperature of the medium that leaves the component. For the actual temperatures at the port, the variables sta_a.T and sta_b.T can be used. These two variables are provided by the base class Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface.

For models that extend this model, see for example

• the ideal heater or cooler Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.HeaterCoolerPrescribed,
• the ideal humidifier Buildings.Fluid.MassExchangers.HumidifierPrescribed, and
• the boiler Buildings.Fluid.Boilers.BoilerPolynomial.

Implementation

The variable names follow the conventions used in Modelica.Fluid.Examples.HeatExchanger.BaseClasses.BasicHX .

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.FourPortHeatMassExchanger

Information

This component transports two fluid streams between four ports. It provides the basic model for implementing a dynamic heat exchanger.

The model can be used as-is, although there will be no heat or mass transfer between the two fluid streams. To add heat transfer, heat flow can be added to the heat port of the two volumes. See for example Buildings.Fluid.Chillers.Carnot. To add moisture input into (or moisture output from) volume vol2, the model can be replaced as shown in Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.HexElement.

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger

Information

This component transports fluid between its two ports, without storing mass or energy. It is based on Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortTransport but it does use a different implementation for handling reverse flow because in this component, mass flow rate can be added or removed from the medium.

If dp_nominal > Modelica.Constants.eps, this component computes pressure drop due to flow friction. The pressure drop is defined by a quadratic function that goes through the point (m_flow_nominal, dp_nominal). At |m_flow| < deltaM * m_flow_nominal, the pressure drop vs. flow relation is linearized. If the parameter linearizeFlowResistance is set to true, then the whole pressure drop vs. flow resistance curve is linearized.

Implementation

This model uses inputs and constants that need to be set by models that extend or instantiate this model. The following inputs need to be assigned:

• Q_flow, which is the heat flow rate added to the medium.
• mXi_flow, which is the species mass flow rate added to the medium.

Set the constant sensibleOnly=true if the model that extends or instantiates this model sets mXi_flow = zeros(Medium.nXi).

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticFourPortHeatMassExchanger

Information

This component transports two fluid streams between four ports, without storing mass or energy. It is similar to Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger, but it has four ports instead of two.

If dpN_nominal > Modelica.Constants.eps, where N denotes the fluid 1 or 2, then the model computes pressure drop due to flow friction in the respective fluid stream. The pressure drop is defined by a quadratic function that goes through the point (mN_flow_nominal, dpN_nominal). At |mN_flow| < deltaMN * mN_flow_nominal, the pressure drop vs. flow relation is linearized. If the parameter linearizeFlowResistanceN is set to true, then the whole pressure drop vs. flow resistance curve is linearized.

Implementation

This model uses inputs and constants that need to be set by models that extend or instantiate this model. The following inputs need to be assigned, where N denotes 1 or 2:

• QN_flow, which is the heat flow rate added to the medium N.
• mXiN_flow, which is the species mass flow rate added to the medium N.

Set the constant sensibleOnlyN=true if the model that extends or instantiates this model sets mXiN_flow = zeros(Medium.nXiN).

Note that the model does not implement 0 = Q1_flow + Q2_flow or 0 = mXi1_flow + mXi2_flow. If there is no heat or mass transfer with the environment, then a model that extends this model needs to provide these equations.

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation

Information

Basic model for an ideally mixed fluid volume with the ability to store mass and energy. It implements a dynamic or a steady-state conservation equation for energy and mass fractions. The model has zero pressure drop between its ports.

Implementation

When extending or instantiating this model, the input fluidVolume, which is the actual volume occupied by the fluid, needs to be assigned. For most components, this can be set to a parameter. However, for components such as expansion vessels, the fluid volume can change in time.

Input connectors of the model are

• Q_flow, which is the sensible plus latent heat flow rate added to the medium, and
• mXi_flow, which is the species mass flow rate added to the medium.

The model can be used as a dynamic model or as a steady-state model. However, for a steady-state model with exactly two fluid ports connected, the model Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation provides a more efficient implementation.

For models that instantiates this model, see Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume and Buildings.Fluid.Storage.ExpansionVessel.

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.LumpedVolumeDeclarations (Declarations for lumped volumes).

Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation

Information

This model transports fluid between its two ports, without storing mass or energy. It implements a steady-state conservation equation for energy and mass fractions. The model has zero pressure drop between its ports.

Implementation

Input connectors of the model are

• Q_flow, which is the sensible plus latent heat flow rate added to the medium, and
• mXi_flow, which is the species mass flow rate added to the medium.

The model can only be used as a steady-state model with two fluid ports. For a model with a dynamic balance, and more fluid ports, use Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.ConservationEquation.

Set the constant sensibleOnly=true if the model that extends or instantiates this model sets mXi_flow = zeros(Medium.nXi).

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy).
