Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (2P)

Measure temperature, density, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, and specific volume in two-phase fluid networks

  • Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (2P) block

Libraries:
Simscape / Foundation Library / Two-Phase Fluid / Sensors

Description

The Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (2P) block represents an ideal sensor that measures temperature, density, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, and specific volume in a two-phase fluid network. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.

The block measures these thermodynamic properties at the node connected to port A. All measurements are taken with respect to absolute zero.
