modelGenericStaticHead

Models two ports at different heights

Extends from Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortTransport (Partial element transporting fluid between two ports without storage of mass or energy).

Information

This component is intended for early designs and later replacement by more detailed models. It describes the static head due to the height difference between its two ports.

Per default a small regularization with a linear pressure loss of 1Pa per 1kg/s is configured. The regularization can be changed for the PressureLoss model.
