.BuildingSystems.Fluid.Sensors.EntropyFlowRate

Information

This model outputs the entropy flow rate of the medium in the flow between fluid ports. The sensor is ideal, i.e., it does not influence the fluid.

If the parameter tau is non-zero, then the measured specific entropy s_out that is used to compute the entropy flow rate Ṡ = ṁ s_out is computed using a first order differential equation. See BuildingSystems.Fluid.Sensors.UsersGuide for an explanation.
