SensorThrough

Chemical Reactor Design Toolbox Reference Manual

ChemReactorDesign.Basic.Gas.Sensors.SensorThrough

The component measures molar flow rates, heat flow and the volumetric flow rate in an gas network. There is no change in concentrations, temperature or pressure across the sensor. The positive flow direction is from port A to port B.

Ports

Conserving

Gas conserving port
```
Port_A = Gas;  %
```
Gas conserving port
```
Port_B = Gas;  %
```

Output

Molar Flow
```
Fout = {zeros(length(selectSpecies),1),'mol/s'};  
```
The signal is only available when the option fluxOutput is set to On.

Use the array selectSpecies to select respective species for output.
Volumetric Flow
```
qout = {0,'l/s'};
```
The signal is only available when the option flowOutput is set either to Standard or to Current. In the former case the volumetric flow is given for standard conditions (STP), i.e. $T=298.15 \, K$ and $p=1 \, bar$ ), whereas in the latter case it is given for current conditions of temperature and pressure.
Energy Flow
```
PhiOut = {0,'W'};
```
The signal is only available when the option energyOutput is set to On.

Parameters

Species Selector
```
selectSpecies = {[1,2],'1'};
```
