modelDelayFirstOrder

Delay element, approximated by a first order differential equation

Extends from Annex60.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume (Mixing volume with inlet and outlet ports (flow reversal is allowed)).

Information

This model approximates a transport delay using a first order differential equations.

The model consists of a mixing volume with two ports. The size of the mixing volume is such that at the nominal mass flow rate m_flow_nominal, the time constant of the volume is equal to the parameter tau.

The heat flux connector is optional, it need not be connnected.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Booleaninitialize_p (from PartialMixingVolume)not Medium.singleState= true to set up initial equations for pressure
BooleanprescribedHeatFlowRate (from PartialMixingVolume)falseSet to true if the model has a prescribed heat flow at its heatPort. If the heat flow rate at the heatPort is only based on temperature difference, then set to false
Booleansimplify_mWat_flow (from PartialMixingVolume)trueSet to true to cause port_a.m_flow + port_b.m_flow = 0 even if mWat_flow is non-zero

Revisions

  • September 14, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
    Renamed V0 to V_nominal to use consistent notation.
  • September 24, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
    Changed base class from Modelica.Fluid to Annex60 library. This was done to track the auxiliary species flow mC_flow.
  • September 4, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
    Fixed bug in assignment of parameter sta0. The earlier implementation required temperature to be a state, which is not always the case.
  • March 17, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
