Differential Pressure Sensor

Sense pressure drop between ports

	Description
	The Differential Pressure Sensor component generates an output signal proportional to the pressure drop across the ports.

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

Variables

Name	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$p$	$Pa$	Pressure across component	p
$mflow$	$\frac{kg}{s}$	Mass flow rate through component	mflow
${hflow}_{X}$	$\frac{J}{kg}$	Specific Enthalpy into port X	hflowX

Connections

Name	Description	Modelica ID
$portA$	Upstream Pneumatic port	portA
$portB$	Downstream Pneumatic port	portB
$y$	Real output; pressure in selected units	y

Parameters
