modelRelativeHumidityTwoPort
Ideal two port relative humidity sensor
Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.BaseClasses.PartialDynamicFlowSensor (Partial component to model sensors that measure flow properties using a dynamic model), Modelica.Icons.RoundSensor (Icon representing a round measurement device).
Information
This model outputs the relative humidity of the fluid flowing from
port_a to port_b.
The sensor is ideal, i.e., it does not influence the fluid.
Note that this sensor can only be used with media that contain the variable phi,
which is typically the case for moist air models.
If the parameter tau is non-zero, then its output
is computed using a first order differential equation.
Setting tau=0 is not recommend. See
Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.UsersGuide for an explanation.
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modelica.Units.SI.Time | tau (from PartialDynamicFlowSensor) | 1 | Time constant at nominal flow rate (use tau=0 for steady-state sensor, but see user guide for potential problems) |
| Assumptions | |||
| Boolean | allowFlowReversal (from PartialTwoPort) | true | = false to simplify equations, assuming, but not enforcing, no flow reversal |
| Nominal condition | |||
| Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRate | m_flow_nominal (from PartialFlowSensor) | Nominal mass flow rate, used for regularization near zero flow | |
| Advanced | |||
| Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRate | m_flow_small (from PartialFlowSensor) | 1E-4*m_flow_nominal | For bi-directional flow, temperature is regularized in the region |m_flow| < m_flow_small (m_flow_small > 0 required) |
| Initialization | |||
| Modelica.Blocks.Types.Init | initType (from PartialDynamicFlowSensor) | Modelica.Blocks.Types.Init.InitialState | Type of initialization (InitialState and InitialOutput are identical) |
| Real | phi_start | 0.5 | Initial or guess value of output (= state) |
Connectors
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.FluidPort_a | port_a (from PartialTwoPort) | Fluid connector a (positive design flow direction is from port_a to port_b) | |
| Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.FluidPort_b | port_b (from PartialTwoPort) | Fluid connector b (positive design flow direction is from port_a to port_b) | |
| Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.RealOutput | phi | Relative humidity of the passing fluid |
