Mass Flow Rate Sensor

Sense Mass flow rate through ports

	Description
	The Mass Flow Rate Sensor component generates an output signal proportional to the flow rate through its ports.

	Equations
	$y = toUnit mflow$ $mflow = mflow__A = - {mflow}_{B}$ $p = p_{A} - p_{B} = 0$ $hflow__X = inStream (portX \cdot hflow)$

Variables

$mflow$	$\frac{kg}{s}$	Mass flow rate through component	mflow
${hflow}_{X}$	$\frac{J}{kg}$	Specific Enthalpy into port X	hflowX

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
