Information

Validation model for Buildings.Media.Conversions.FlowResistanceFlowWork.pressureDrop_massFlowRate.

The model computes the ratio of pressure drops dpRat_m_flow when the working fluid is changed from water to a 25% volume fraction propylene glycol-water mixture, both evaluated at 20°C. The mass flow rate ratio ratio_m_flow varies linearly from 0.5 to 1.5 over the simulation period of 1 second. The pressure drop ratio is computed for turbulent flow, i.e., n=2.
