Valve - Isenthalpic Model¶

Model description¶

The isenthalpic valve model assumes that the specific enthalpy remains constant across the valve.

class component.valve.valve_isenthalpic.ValveIsenthalpic[source]¶

Component: Valve

Model: Isenthalpic

Descritpion:

This model determines the outlet conditions for an isenthalpic valve. This model can be used for on-design models of systems.

Assumptions:

Steady-state operation.

Connectors:

su (MassConnector): Mass connector for the suction side.

ex (MassConnector): Mass connector for the exhaust side.

Inputs:

P_su: Suction side pressure. [Pa]

T_su: Suction side temperature. [K]

P_ex: Exhaust side pressure. [Pa]

fluid: Suction side fluid. [-]

Ouputs:

h_ex: Exhaust side specific enthalpy. [J/kg]

T_ex: Exhaust side temperature. [K]
