Description

The Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL) block represents an ideal sensor that measures specific internal energy, density, and specific heat at constant pressure in a thermal liquid 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.

Ports

Output

Physical signal output port for measuring the specific internal energy of thermal liquid.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Internal energy check box.

Programmatic Use

Port: U

Physical signal output port for measuring the density of thermal liquid.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Density check box.

Programmatic Use

Port: RHO

Physical signal output port for measuring the thermal liquid specific heat at constant pressure.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Specific heat check box.

Programmatic Use

Port: CP

Conserving

expand all

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

Programmatic Use

Port: A

Parameters

expand all

Selecting this check box exposes the output port u, which lets you measure the specific internal energy of thermal liquid.

Programmatic Use

Parameter: internal_energy
Values: "true" | "false"

Selecting this check box exposes the output port ρ, which lets you measure the thermal liquid density.

Programmatic Use

Parameter: density
Values: "true" | "false"

Selecting this check box exposes the output port cp, which lets you measure the thermal liquid specific heat at constant pressure.

Programmatic Use

Parameter: specific_heat
Values: "true" | "false"

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"fl_lib/Thermal Liquid/Sensors/Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL)"

Example: add_block("fl_lib/Thermal Liquid/Sensors/Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (TL)","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")

For information about programmatic access to individual block parameters, see the Programmatic Use section of parameter descriptions on this page.
