This component transports fluid between its multiple inlet and outlet
ports, without storing mass or energy. Energy may be exchanged with
the environment though, for example, in the form of work.
PartialModularPort_a is intended as base class for
devices like modular sensors that are used, for example, in modular
heat pumps.
Three equations need to be added by an extending class using this component:
dp_i and the mass flow rates
m_flow_i if these variables are introduced by the
modeller
port_b.h_outflow_i for flow in design direction.
port_a.h_outflow_i for flow in reverse direction.
Moreover, appropriate values shall be assigned to the following parameters:
dp_start for a guess of the pressure drop
m_flow_small for regularization of zero flow.
dp_nominal for nominal pressure drop.
m_flow_nominal for nominal mass flow rate.
