Flow Rate Sensor

Sense flow rate through ports

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

	Equations
	$y = toUnit q$ $q = q_{A} = - q_{B}$ $p = p_{A} - p_{B} = 0$

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$p$	$Pa$	Pressure across component	p
$q$	$\frac{m^{3}}{s}$	Flow rate through component	q

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
$portA$	Upstream hydraulic port	portA
$portB$	Downstream hydraulic port	portB
$y$	Real output; flow rate in selected units	y

Parameters

Name	Default	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$toUnit$	$\frac{m^{3}}{s}$		Selected flow-rate unit	toUnit
