Description

The Transport Properties Sensor (2P) block represents an ideal sensor that measures the dynamic and kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity, and Prandtl number in a two-phase fluid network. There is no mass or energy flow through the sensor.

The block measures these properties at the node connected to port A.

Ports

Output

μ — Dynamic viscosity measurement, Pa*s

physical signal

Physical signal output port that measures the dynamic viscosity.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Dynamic viscosity check box.

ν — Kinematic viscosity measurement, m^2/s

physical signal

Physical signal output port that measures the kinematic viscosity.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Kinematic viscosity check box.

k — Thermal conductivity measurement, W/(m*K)

physical signal

Physical signal output port that measures the thermal conductivity.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Thermal conductivity check box.

Pr — Prandtl number measurement, unitless

physical signal

Physical signal output port that measures the Prandtl number.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Prandtl number check box.

Conserving

A — Sensor inlet

two-phase fluid

Two-phase fluid conserving port. Connect this port to the node in the two-phase fluid network where you want to measure the transport properties. All measurements are taken with respect to absolute zero.
