Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Examples.MassFlowSource_WeatherData
Test model for source (sink) with weather bus
Information

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Examples.Outside_Cp
Test model for source and sink with outside weather data and wind pressure
Information
This model demonstrates the use of a source for ambient temperature, pressure and
species concentration.
The models bou1 and bou2 compute the ambient pressure
based on the weather file and the wind pressure.
The model bou1 uses a parameter for the wind pressure coefficient,
whereas bou2 uses the wind pressure coefficient from its input port.
The model bouFix does not compute any wind pressure.
Adding the wind pressure to the models on the left-hand side induces a mass flow
rate through the orifice models ori1 and ori2.
Since both source models use the same constant wind pressure coefficient, the
mass flow rate through the orifice model is the same.
In more realistic applications, the constant source Cp would be
replaced by a model that computes a wind pressure coefficient that takes into
account the wind direction relative to the building.

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Examples.Outside_CpLowRise
Test model for source and sink with outside weather data and wind pressure
Information
This model demonstrates the use of a source for ambient conditions that computes the wind pressure on a facade of a low-rise building. Weather data are used for San Francisco, for a period of a week where the wind blows primarily from North-West. The plot shows that the wind pressure on the north- and west-facing facade is positive, whereas it is negative for the south- and east-facing facades.

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.Examples.TraceSubstancesFlowSource
Information
This model demonstrates the use of trace substances that are added to a volume of air. The source is a step function of 2 kg/s CO2 from t=0 second to t=0.5 second. The sensorsC and C1 measure the same concentration that initially increases
and then remains constant as there is no flow through the volumes vol and vol1.
The sensors
C2 and
C3 first meaure an increase in concentration, which then decays to zero
as there is a mass flow rate with zero CO2 from the source bou to the sink sin.
