  • Hydraulic Constant Mass Flow Rate Source block

Description

The Hydraulic Constant Mass Flow Rate Source block represents an ideal mechanical energy source in a hydraulic network that can maintain a constant mass flow rate regardless of the pressure differential across the source. The source does not generate any losses due to friction. The Mass flow rate parameter specifies the mass flow rate through the source.

Block connections T and P correspond to the hydraulic inlet and outlet ports, respectively. A positive mass flow rate causes liquid to flow from port T to port P.

Parameters

Mass flow rate

Specifies the mass flow rate through the source. The default value is 0.001 kg/s.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

T

Hydraulic conserving port associated with the source inlet.

P

Hydraulic conserving port associated with the source outlet.

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using Simulink® Coder™.

Version History

Introduced in R2016b
