Volume Flow Sensor

Volume flow sensor

Modelica Standard Library

	Description
	The Volume Flow Sensor component is a two-port thermal-fluid component that generates a real signal proportional to the volume flow rate from ${flowPort}_{a}$ to ${flowPort}_{b}$ .

	Equations
	$y = V_{flow}$ $dp = 0$ $Q_{flow} = 0$

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$dp$	$Pa$	Pressure drop a->b	dp
$V_{flow}$	$\frac{m^{3}}{s}$	Volume flow a->b	V_flow
$Q_{flow}$	$W$	Heat exchange with ambient	Q_flow

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
${flowPort}_{a}$	Thermal-Fluid FlowPort	flowPort_a
${flowPort}_{b}$	Thermal-Fluid FlowPort	flowPort_b
$y$	Real output; volume flow rate in $\frac{m^{3}}{s}$	y

Parameters

Name	Default	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$medium$	$fluidMedium$		Thermal-Fluid Media	medium
