Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.Outside
Boundary that takes weather data, and optionally trace substances, as an input
Information
This is the base class for models that describes boundary conditions for pressure, enthalpy, and species concentration that can be obtained from weather data, and that may be modified based on the wind pressure.
If the parameter use_C_in is false (default option),
the C parameter
is used as the trace substance for flow that leaves the component, and the
C_in input connector is disabled; if use_C_in is true,
then the C parameter is ignored, and the value provided by the input connector is used instead.
Note that boundary temperature, mass fractions and trace substances have only an effect if the mass flow is from the boundary into the port. If mass is flowing from the port into the boundary, the boundary definitions, with exception of boundary pressure, do not have an effect.
Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource (Partial component source with one fluid connector).

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialPropertySource
Partial model for overriding fluid properties that flow through the component
Information
Model that changes the properties, but not the mass flow rate, of the fluid that passes through it.
Typical use and important parameters
If allowFlowReversal=true, then the properties are changed for both flow directions,
i.e., from port_a to port_b and
from port_b to port_a.
Dynamics
This model has no dynamics.
Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPort (Partial component with two ports).

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource
Partial component source with one fluid connector
Information
Partial model for a fluid source that either prescribes
pressure or mass flow rate.
Models that extend this partial model need to prescribe the outflowing
specific enthalpy, composition and trace substances.
This partial model only declares the ports
and ensures that the pressures at all ports are equal.
Implementation
If the parameter verifyInputs is set to true,
then a protected instance of medium base properties is enabled.
This instance verifies that the
medium temperature is within the bounds T_min and T_max,
where T_min and T_max are constants of the Medium.
If the temperature is outside these bounds, the simulation will stop with an error.
