Valve with incompressible flow hypothesis for the calculation of the pressure drop
The Valve model represents the expansion of a fluid through a valve.
The assumptions for this model are:
- No dynamics ( it is considered negligible when compared to the one characterizing the heat exchanger).
- No ambient heat losses (the expansion is assumed isenthalpic)
- Incompressible flow for computing the pressure drop
- Quadratic pressure drop (turbulent flow)
