modelBoundaryVLE_phxi

A boundary defining pressure, specific enthalpy and mass composition

Extends from TransiEnt.Basics.Icons.BoundaryVLE.

Information

Purpose of model

This model is a boundary for a vapor-liquid-equilibrium defining the pressure, the mass composition and the specific enthalpy. It contains a fluid port that is used as an outlet/inlet for the fluid and a fluid model from the TIL media that is used to determin the state variables and fluid properties. The user can chose if the pressure, the specific enthalpy or the mass fraction should be constant or set with an input. It is a purely technical component without physical modeling.

Interfaces

RealInput: pressure in [Pa]

RealInput: speicific enthalpy in [kJ/kg]

RealInput: mass fraction in [kg/kg]
