BoundaryGas Txim flow
Created Thursday 13 June 2013
This model provides a mass flow source emitting a gas composition at a specified temperature. It
1. Purpose of Model
This model can be used to set up constant or variable boundary conditions for a gas medium for example inside the flue gas path. It serves as an idealised flow source which emitts a specified mass flow. It should be used together with BoundaryGas pTxi serving as a second boundary condition giving a specified pressure.
2. Level of Detail, Physical Effects Considered and Physical Insight
2.1 Level of Detail
Referring to Brunnemann et al. [1], this model refers to the level of detail L1 because the system is modeled without the use of balance equations.
2.2 Physical Effects Considered
- idealised mass flow at fixed rate and temperature
2.3 Level of Insight
No different levels of detail are available.
3. Limits of Validity
- Real sources with complex pressure dependence of mass flow cannot be covered by this model.

4.2 Summaries
4.3 Inputs
- Real Input value for:
- Mass flow rate being emitted [kg/s].
- Temperature close to the connection port [K].
- Gas composition close to the connection port [kg_x/kg_tot].
- Medium properties at the port.
4.2 Medium Models.
- Fluid Medium Model at the inlet port
5. Nomenclature
6. Governing Equations
This model simply converts the real input values mass flow, temperature and medium composition into a ClaRa gas stream connector. The pressure inside the connector results from the second (fixed pressure) boundary condition Documentation:Components:BoundaryConditions:GasSink pT and the pressure losses of the gas path.
6.1 System Description and General model approach
6.2 General Model Equations
Since this model is an idealised boundary, no balance equations are used.
7. Remarks for Usage
If operated as an ideal boundary source, the model emits the set up mass flow, no matter what the physical conditions in the adjacent components are. There might be situations (e.g. a closing valve) where this leads to termination of the simulation due to the occurrence of unphysical pressures.
