Information
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
Model of a straight pipe with constant cross section and with steady-state mass, momentum and energy balances, i.e., the model does not store mass or energy. There exist two thermodynamic states, one at each fluid port. The momentum balance is formulated for the two states, taking into account momentum flows, friction and gravity. The same result can be obtained by using DynamicPipe with steady-state dynamic settings. The intended use is to provide simple connections of vessels or other devices with storage, as it is done in:
Numerical Issues
With the stream connectors the thermodynamic states on the ports are generally defined by models with storage or by sources placed upstream and downstream of the static pipe. Other non storage components in the flow path may yield to state transformation. Note that this generally leads to nonlinear equation systems if multiple static pipes, or other flow models without storage, are directly connected.
