Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

Interface and base class for n ideally mixed fluid volumes with the ability to store mass and energy. It is intended to model a one-dimensional spatial discretization of fluid flow according to the finite volume method. The following boundary flow and source terms are part of the energy balance and must be specified in an extending class:

  • Qb_flows[n], heat flow term, e.g., conductive heat flows across segment boundaries, and
  • Wb_flows[n], work term.

The component volumes fluidVolumes[n] are an input that needs to be set in an extending class to complete the model.

Further source terms must be defined by an extending class for fluid flow across the segment boundary:

  • Hb_flows[n], enthalpy flow,
  • mb_flows[n], mass flow,
  • mbXi_flows[n], substance mass flow, and
  • mbC_flows[n], trace substance mass flow.
