Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.BaseClasses.Pipe
Model of a pipe with finite volume discretization along the flow path
Model of a pipe with flow resistance and optional heat storage.
This model can be used for modeling the heat exchange between the pipe and environment.
The model consists of a flow resistance
Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.FixedResistanceDpM
and nSeg mixing volumes
Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume.
Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.LumpedVolumeDeclarations (Declarations for lumped volumes), Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy), Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortFlowResistanceParameters (Parameters for flow resistance for models with two ports).
