Description

The Transport Properties Sensor (2P) block represents an ideal sensor that measures the dynamic and kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and Prandtl number in a two-phase fluid network. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.

The block measures these properties at the node connected to port A.

Ports

Output

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/Two-Phase Fluid/Sensors/Transport Properties Sensor (2P)"

Example: add_block("fl_lib/Two-Phase Fluid/Sensors/Transport Properties Sensor (2P)","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")

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