Description
The Reservoir (IL) block represents an infinite reservoir of isothermal liquid. Use this block to set the boundary condition in an isothermal liquid network. The fluid in the reservoir can be at a constant pressure, either atmospheric or set by Reservoir pressure, and the reservoir pressure can be set using an input signal.
Port A corresponds to the reservoir inlet.
If Controlled pressure is checked, the reservoir pressure is controlled by the input scalar signal of port P.
If Controlled pressure is unchecked, the pressure is constant and is set using the Reservoir pressure specification and Reservoir pressure parameters respectively.
The unit icon changes depending on the values of Controlled pressure and Reservoir pressure specification.
Parameters
Controlled - possibility to change the pressure in the tank during simulation
Off | On
Select whether the tank pressure can be changed during the simulation:
-
Off- tank pressure remains constant during the simulation. The P port is hidden. -
on- the input signal on the P port defines the tank pressure that can change during the simulation.
Reservoir pressure specification - method for determining the reservoir pressure
Atmospheric pressure (by default) | Specified pressure.
Method for determining reservoir pressure:
-
Atmospheric pressure- use the atmospheric pressure specified in the block Isothermal Liquid Properties (IL) connected to the circuit. -
Specified pressure- specify the value using the Reservoir pressure parameter.
Dependencies
Enabled if Controlled pressure is set to Disabled.
Reservoir pressure - tank pressure value
`0.101325 MPa (by default).
Reservoir pressure. This pressure remains constant during the simulation.
Dependencies
Turns ON when Reservoir pressure specification is set to Specified pressure.
