Pneumatic Mass & Heat Flow Sensor

Ideal mass flow and heat flow sensor

Library

None (example custom library)

  • Pneumatic Mass & Heat Flow Sensor block

Description

Note

As of Release R2016b, the Gas block library replaces the Pneumatic library as the recommended way of modeling pneumatic systems. The former Pneumatic library is now included in the product installation as an example custom library. The pneumatic domain definition is still provided with the software, and all the pneumatic blocks in your legacy models continue to work as before. However, these blocks no longer receive full production support and can be removed in a future release.

The Pneumatic Mass & Heat Flow Sensor block represents an ideal mass flow and heat flow sensor, that is, a device that converts mass flow rate and heat flow rate between the two pneumatic nodes into physical measurement signals G and Q, respectively.

The sensor positive direction is from port A to port B.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

A

Pneumatic conserving port associated with the sensor inlet.

B

Pneumatic conserving port associated with the sensor outlet.
