Fixed Flow Source

The Fixed Flow Source component generates a constant flow rate. The governing equations are

 $q=Q$ $q\equiv {q}_{u}$ ${q}_{u}+{q}_{d}=0$

Connections

 Name Description Modelica ID $u$ Upstream port portA $d$ Downstream port portB

Variables

 Symbol Units Description $q$ $\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}$ Fluid flow rate through the component ${q}_{x}$ $\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}$ Fluid flow rate into port $x$, $x\in \left\{u,d\right\}$

Parameters

 Symbol Default Units Description $Q$ $1$ $\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}$ Fluid flow rate

Initial Conditions

 Symbol Units Description Modelica ID ${p}_{0}$ $\mathrm{Pa}$ Initial pressure p0 ${q}_{0}$ $\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}$ Initial flow rate q0
