Sensors

Gas mass flow rate, energy flow rate, pressure, temperature sensor blocks

This library contains sensors for the gas domain. These blocks output physical signals, not regular Simulink^® signals. For information on how to connect these blocks to Simulink scopes or other Simulink blocks, see Connecting Simscape Diagrams to Simulink Sources and Scopes.

Simscape Blocks

Flow Rate Sensor (G)	Measure mass, energy, and volumetric flow rates in gas networks (Since R2023a)
Mach Number Sensor (G)	Measure Mach number of internal gas flow (Since R2023b)
Pressure & Temperature Sensor (G)	Measure pressure and temperature in gas networks
Thermodynamic Properties Sensor (G)	Measure specific enthalpy, density, specific heat at constant pressure, and specific entropy

Topics

Modeling Gas Systems
Steps and guidelines for gas system modeling.
Simple Gas Model
This example shows how to create a simple open-loop gas network and set boundary conditions.
Change Flow Boundary Conditions
This example shows how to change the gas flow boundary conditions without affecting temperature.
Change Flow Direction
This example shows how the change in the gas flow direction affects the upstream temperature.
