Buildings.Media.Interfaces.Choices

Types, constants to define menu choices

Information

Enumerations and data types for all types of fluids

Note: Reference enthalpy might have to be extended with enthalpy of formation.

Implementation

This package is a copy from the Modelica Standard Library (MSL) because MSL 3.2 stores this package in Modelica.Media.Interfaces.PartialMedium.Choices, whereas MSL 3.2.1 stores it in Modelica.Media.Interfaces.Choices because enumerations cannot be done through a partial package. The local copy has done to enable compatibility with both versions.

Package Content

NameDescription
IndependentVariables Enumeration defining the independent variables of a medium
Init Enumeration defining initialization for fluid flow
ReferenceEnthalpy Enumeration defining the reference enthalpy of a medium
ReferenceEntropy Enumeration defining the reference entropy of a medium
pd Enumeration defining whether p or d are known for the boundary condition
Th Enumeration defining whether T or h are known as boundary condition
