Template: TwoPort

The TwoPort template is a partial model of a two-port hydraulic component with no storage of mass or energy at the ports.  The two hydraulic ports are A and B.

Parameters

 Name Default Units Description Modelica ID ${\mathrm{ΔT}}_{\mathrm{system}}$ 0 $K$ temperature offset from system temperature dT_system

 Assumptions No storage of energy or mass.
 Sign Conventions If the pressure at port A is greater than the pressure at port B, the volume flow rate at port A is positive.
