Sensors
Gas mass flow rate, energy flow rate, pressure, temperature sensor blocks
This library contains sensors for the gas domain. These blocks output physical signals, not regular Simulink® signals. For information on how to connect these blocks to Simulink scopes or other Simulink blocks, see Connecting Simscape Diagrams to Simulink Sources and Scopes.
Simscape Blocks
| Flow Rate Sensor (G) | Measure mass, energy, and volumetric flow rates in gas networks (Since R2023a) |
| Mach Number Sensor (G) | Measure Mach number of internal gas flow (Since R2023b) |
| Pressure & Temperature Sensor (G) | Measure pressure and temperature in gas networks |
| Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (G) | Measure specific enthalpy, density, specific heat at constant pressure, and specific entropy |
Topics
- Modeling Gas Systems
Steps and guidelines for gas system modeling.
- Simple Gas Model
This example shows how to create a simple open-loop gas network and set boundary conditions.
- Change Flow Boundary Conditions
This example shows how to change the gas flow boundary conditions without affecting temperature.
- Change Flow Direction
This example shows how the change in the gas flow direction affects the upstream temperature.
