Information

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

Ideally mixed volume of constant size with two fluid ports and one medium model. The flow properties are computed from the upstream quantities, pressures are equal in both nodes and the medium model if use_portsData=false. Heat transfer through a thermal port is possible, it equals zero if the port remains unconnected. A spherical shape is assumed for the heat transfer area, with V=4/3*pi*r^3, A=4*pi*r^2. Ideal heat transfer is assumed per default; the thermal port temperature is equal to the medium temperature.

If use_portsData=true, the port pressures represent the pressures just after the outlet (or just before the inlet) in the attached pipe. The hydraulic resistances portsData.zeta_in and portsData.zeta_out determine the dissipative pressure drop between volume and port depending on the direction of mass flow. See VesselPortsData and [Idelchik, Handbook of Hydraulic Resistance, 2004].
