Description
The Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL) unit is an ideal sensor that measures specific internal energy, density and specific heat capacity at constant pressure in a thermal liquid network. There are no mass or energy flows through the sensor.
The unit measures these thermodynamic properties at a node connected to port A. All measurements are made relative to absolute zero.
