Information
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
This model describes pressure losses due to wall friction in a pipe and due to gravity. Correlations of different complexity and validity can be selected via the replaceable package WallFriction (see parameter menu below). The details of the pipe wall friction model are described in the UsersGuide. Basically, different variants of the equation
dp = λ(Re,Δ)*(L/D)*ρ*v*|v|/2.
By default, the correlations are computed with media data at the actual time instant. In order to reduce non-linear equation systems, the parameters use_mu_nominal and use_rho_nominal provide the option to compute the correlations with constant media values at the desired operating point. This might speed-up the simulation and/or might give a more robust simulation.
