Description

The Liquid Properties Sensor (IL) block represents an ideal sensor that lets you measure mixture density, bulk modulus, and fraction of entrained air in an isothermal liquid network. There is no mass flow through the sensor.

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

Ports

Output

expand all

Physical signal output port for measuring the density of isothermal liquid mixture.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Density check box.

Physical signal output port for measuring the bulk modulus of isothermal liquid mixture.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Isothermal bulk modulus check box.

Physical signal output port for measuring the fraction of entrained (undissloved) air, (entrained air)/(entrained air + dissolved air). Value of 1 means no air is dissolved. Value of 0 means all air is dissolved.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Fraction of air that is entrained check box.

Conserving

expand all

Isothermal liquid conserving port. Connect this port to the node in the isothermal liquid network where you want to measure the liquid properties. All measurements are taken with respect to absolute zero.

Parameters

expand all

Select this check box to expose output port rho, which lets you measure fluid density.

Select this check box to expose output port beta, which lets you measure bulk modulus.

Select this check box to expose output port theta, which lets you measure the fraction of undissolved air.
