modelZonalFlow

Model with prescribed air exchange between two volumes

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This example illustrates the use of the models that exchange a prescribed flow rate between the volumes that are attached to it. The block ACS prescribes the air exchange rate to 5 air changes per hour. The instance zonFlo takes as an input the air change per seconds, and the instance floExc takes as inputs the mass flow rate. For both instances, the air flows from rooA to rooB, and from rooB to rooA.
