Description

This model describes the laminar flow through a component:

 

pa.phi = pb.phi = G*(pa.p - pb.p);

 

The variable conductance G is given by an input signal. The pressure at both ports has a lower limit that is equal to the vapour pressure. Therefore the actual equations used in this component are:

 

p1_lim = if pa.p < p_vapour then p_vapour else pa.p end;

p2_lim = if pb.p < p_vapour then p_vapour else pb.p end;

dp = p1_lim - p2_lim;

pa.phi = G*dp;

pb.phi = pa.phi;

 

There is no check on the validity of laminar flow in this component!
