Description

Block Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (2P) It is an ideal sensor that measures temperature, density, specific enthalpy, specific entropy and specific volume in a two-phase liquid network. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.

The unit measures these thermodynamic properties in a node connected to port A. All measurements are made relative to absolute zero.

Ports

Conserving

# A — sensor input
two-phase liquid

Details

Non-directional two-phase liquid port. Connect this port to the node in the two-phase liquid network where you want to measure the thermodynamic properties. All measurements are made relative to absolute zero.
