Two-Phase Fluid Library

Specialized components for modeling fluid networks in the Two-Phase Fluid domain

Two-phase fluid networks can undergo single-fluid phase change due to processes internal and external to a block or network. Heat exchangers are located in the Fluid Network Interfaces library.

If a specific component does not yet exist in a domain library, you can build your own using the Simscape language. For more information, see Creating Custom Components.

Pipes and Fittings
Conduits for fluid transport and machine lubrication.
Tanks and Accumulators
Pressurized chambers for hydraulic energy storage and pulsation smoothing.
Utilities
Preset fluid properties for two-phase networks.
Valves and Orifices
Variable-area components for fluid flow control.

Featured Examples

Residential Refrigeration Unit

Models a basic refrigeration system that transfers heat between the refrigerant two-phase fluid and the environment moist air mixture. The compressor drives the R134a refrigerant through a condenser, a capillary tube, and an evaporator. An accumulator ensures that only vapor returns to the compressor.

Electric Vehicle Thermal Management

Models the thermal management system of a battery electric vehicle. The system consists of two coolant loops, a refrigeration loop, and a cabin HVAC loop. The thermal load are the batteries, powertrain, and cabin.
