.IBPSA.Fluid.MixingVolumes.Validation.TraceSubstanceConservationDynamicBalance

Information

This test checks if the trace substance flow rate is conserved when adding moisture to a mixing volume that is configured to steady state.
The trace substance flow rate at the inlet and outlet should be equal since the trace substance concentration should not be affected by the independent mass fraction concentration.

Note, however, that there is some approximation error because in its default configuration, the conservation balance models simplify the treatment of the water that is added to the fluid. See IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation and IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.StaticTwoPortConservationEquation for a discussion.
