Connector for fluid outlet

Information

This is a connector for a fluid outlet. The connector produces as an output the following quantities:

The mass flow rate m_flow.
The pressure p, unless use_p_in=false.
The temperature of the inflowing fluid forward.T, e.g., the temperature of the fluid that streams out of the component if m_flow > 0.
The mass fraction of the inflowing fluid forward.Xi, unless Medium.nXi=0.
The trace substances of the inflowing fluid forward.C, unless Medium.nC=0.

If allowFlowReversal = true, the connector requires as input the following quantities.

The temperature of the outflowing fluid backward.T, e.g., if m_flow ≤ 0.
The mass fraction of the outflowing fluid backward.Xi, unless Medium.nXi=0.
The trace substances of the outflowing fluid backward.C, unless Medium.nC=0.

If allowFlowReversal = false, then these inputs are not present and hence not required to be provided.

Type	Name	Default	Description
Boolean	use_p_in	true	= true to use pressure connector, false to remove it
Assumptions
Boolean	allowFlowReversal	true	= true to allow flow reversal, false restricts to design direction (inlet -> outlet)

Type	Name	Description
Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.PressureOutput	p	Thermodynamic pressure in the connection point

Buildings.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.FluidProperties	forward	Outflowing properties

Type	Name	Default	Description
Medium.MassFlowRate	m_flow		Mass flow rate from the connection point into the component

Name	Description

Limited the media choice. See #1050.

Redesigned to conditionally remove the pressure connector if use_p_in=false.

Changed connector variable to be temperature instead of specific enthalpy.
