Test model for expansion vessel

Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Examples.ExpansionVessel

Information

This model tests a pressure expansion vessel. The medium model that is used in this example changes its density as a function of temperature. To see the effect of the expansion vessel, delete the connecting line between the volume and the expansion vessel and check how much more the pressure increases as the fluid is heated.

Test model for stratified tank

Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Examples.Stratified

Information

This test model compares two tank models. The only difference between the two tank models is that one uses the third order upwind discretization scheme that reduces numerical diffusion that is induced when connecting volumes in series.
