The Water Flow Sensor component monitors the mass flow rate and other properties. This component assumes an ideal situation; no energy is lost between the ports.

Monitor definitions:

$\mathrm{mflow}\=\mathrm{`port\_a.mflow`}$

$\mathrm{hflow}\=\mathrm{actualStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.hflow`}\right)$

$\mathrm{\ρ}\=\mathrm{actualStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.rho`}\right)$

$T\=\mathrm{actualStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.T`}\right)$

$v\=\frac{\mathrm{mflow}}{\mathrm{actualStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.rho`}\right)\cdot A}$

Port's variable definitions:

$\mathrm{`port\_a.p`}\=\mathrm{`port\_b.p`}$$$

$\mathrm{`port\_a.mflow`}\+\mathrm{`port\_b.mflow`}\=0$$$

$\mathrm{`port\_a.hflow`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_b.hflow`}\right)$

$\mathrm{`port\_b.hflow`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.hflow`}\right)$

$\mathrm{`port\_a.rho`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_b.rho`}\right)$

$\mathrm{`port\_b.rho`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.rho`}\right)$

$\mathrm{`port\_a.T`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_b.T`}\right)$

$\mathrm{`port\_b.T`}\=\mathrm{inStream}\left(\mathrm{`port\_a.T`}\right)$$$
