.IBPSA.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet

Information

This is a connector for a fluid inlet. The connector takes as an input 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 also outputs 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 outputs are not present.

  Redesigned to conditionally remove the pressure connector if use_p_in=false.
• April 15, 2015 by Michael Wetter:
  Changed connector variable to be temperature instead of specific enthalpy.
