Viewing liquid temperatures in SimScape

Hello,

I am resurrecting this thread as I am back trying to do something similar but never found a solution. I have attached an attempted model of what I have drawn figuratively in the thread linked above.

I am interested in seeing the water temperature before and after each of the pipes. I presume the temperature probes that I have shown are showing the temperature of the pipe itself.

Thanks,

Barry

The Simscape > Foundation Library > Thermal Liquid > Sensors library should have a "Pressure & Temperature Sensor (TL)" block.

(whew, that's a lot of words)

Anyway, you should be able to connect these sensor blocks to the A and B ports of the pipes to get the temperatures you need. If you want the absolute temperatures, you want to put the "A" port of the sensor to the pipe location and the "B" port to an "Absolute Reference (TL)" block.

Thanks, I figured out how to do this shortly after posting my question by looking at the Oil Pipeline example in SimScape.

Thanks for confirming it for me!
