Description

The Volumetric Flow Rate Sensor (G) block represents an ideal sensor that measures volumetric flow rate in a gas network. There is no change in pressure or temperature across the sensor.

Because the flow rate is a Through variable, the block must connect in series with the component being measured.

The relative orientation of ports A and B establishes the measurement sign. The sign is positive if flow occurs from port A to port B. Switching port connections reverses the measurement sign.

Physical signal port V outputs the volumetric flow rate through the sensor. Connect this port to a PS-Simulink Converter block to transform the output physical signal into a Simulink^® signal, for example, for plotting or additional data processing.

Ports

Output

V — Volumetric flow rate, m^3/s

physical signal

Physical signal output port for the volumetric flow rate measurement.

Conserving

A — Sensor inlet

gas

Gas conserving port. Flow rate is positive if gas flows from port A to port B.

B — Sensor outlet

gas

Gas conserving port. Flow rate is positive if gas flows from port A to port B.
