Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL)

Measure specific internal energy, density, and specific heat at constant pressure in thermal liquid networks

  • Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL) block

Libraries:
Simscape / Foundation Library / Thermal Liquid / Sensors

Description

The Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL) block represents an ideal sensor that measures specific internal energy, density, and specific heat at constant pressure in a thermal liquid network. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.

The block measures these thermodynamic properties at the node connected to port A. All measurements are taken with respect to absolute zero.

Ports
