.Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchanger .Buildings.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortHeatMassExchangerThis component transports fluid between its two ports, without storing mass or energy. It is based on Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortTransport but it does use a different implementation for handling reverse flow because in this component, mass flow rate can be added or removed from the medium.
If dp_nominal > Modelica.Constants.eps, this component computes
pressure drop due to flow friction.
The pressure drop is defined by a quadratic function that goes through
the point (m_flow_nominal, dp_nominal). At |m_flow| < deltaM * m_flow_nominal,
the pressure drop vs. flow relation is linearized.
If the parameter linearizeFlowResistance is set to true,
then the whole pressure drop vs. flow resistance curve is linearized.
Q_flow, which is the sensible and latent heat flow rate added to the medium.
mWat_flow, which is the moisture mass flow rate added to the medium.
Set the constant sensibleOnly=true if the model that extends
or instantiates this model sets mWat_flow = 0.
To increase the numerical robustness of the model, the constant
prescribedHeatFlowRate can be set.
Use the following settings:
prescribedHeatFlowRate=true if the only means of heat transfer
at the heatPort is a prescribed heat flow rate that
is not a function of the temperature difference
between the medium and an ambient temperature. Examples include an ideal electrical heater,
a pump that rejects heat into the fluid stream, or a chiller that removes heat based on a performance curve.
If the heatPort is not connected, then set prescribedHeatFlowRate=true as
in this case, heatPort.Q_flow=0.
prescribedHeatFlowRate=false if there is heat flow at the heatPort
computed as K * (T-heatPort.T), for some temperature T and some conductance K,
which may itself be a function of temperature or mass flow rate.prescribedHeatFlowRate=false.
If prescribedHeatFlow=true, then energy and mass balance
equations are formulated to guard against numerical problems near
zero flow that can occur if Q_flow or m_flow
are the results of an iterative solver.

mXi_flow[Medium.nXi]
to a scalar input connector mWat_flow.
The reason is that mXi_flow does not allow
to compute the other components in mX_flow and
therefore leads to an ambiguous use of the model.
By only requesting mWat_flow, the mass balance
and species balance can be implemented correctly.

port_b was multiplied with the mass flow rate at
port_a. The old implementation led to small errors that were proportional
to the amount of moisture change. For example, if the moisture added by the component
was 0.005 kg/kg, then the error was 0.5%.
Also, the results for forward flow and reverse flow differed by this amount.
With the new implementation, the energy and moisture balance is exact.
