Version 1.2.0 (2024-11-19)

Version 1.2.0 of the DLR Thermofluid Stream Library.

Improvements of the library:

• Added the ability to display class instance names and relevant parameters by a global parameter in dropOfCommons. The parameter can be overwritten on component level (layout tab) to only display the names of selected class instances and/or parameters.
• Improved compressible media assert and include assertionLevel from dropOfCommons.
• Added Pipes package provided by HTWG Konstanz. The package consists of regulary straight pipes, bends, flow contraction and expansion as well as flow con- and diverging components.
• Velocity of sound can be measured with SingleSensorSelect and undirected SingleSensorSelect.
• Add default values for valve parameters and asserts for check.

Further updates:

• Added TILMediaWrapper to repository. Interface for the usage of TILMedia in the TFS (separate TILMedia license is necessary!).
• Added guideline on how to contribute to the library.

Version 1.1.0 (2023-10-06)

Version 1.1.0 of the DLR Thermofluid Stream Library. This version requires the Modelica Standard Library 4.0.0.

Improvements in this version:

• Updated graphical layout (both diagram and icon) of connectors Inlet and Outlet to be structured according to the convention of the Modelica Standard Library.
• Updated flow resistance model that now provides a) the ability to choose different shapes for cross sectional area and b) additional pressure loss functions (collected in FlowResistance sub-package).
• Fix bug in cross-flow heat exchanger: solution not converging for increasing number of discretization elements.
  • Scale reference mass-flow for heat transfer coefficient if stream is split into parallel streams.
  • Introduce parameter nCellsParallel for general usage in all discretized heat exchangers.
• Updated discretized and NTU heat exchangers to inherit from common base components.
  • Added summary record to NTU heat exchangers
  • Changed direction of the ThermalConductor in the cross-flow heat exchanger, cross-flow heat exchanger with flow resistance and undirected cross-flow heat exchanger. This causes heat flow from A to B to be positive, similar to the counter-flow heat exchangers.
  • Corrected an error in the undirected counter-flow heat exchanger. Now m_flow_A and m_flow_B corresponds to the flow through channel A and B respectively, instead of the other way around.
• Fix bug in PartialVolumeM and PartialVolumeN: noEvent operator now works on mass flow related if-statements.
• Fix wrong handling of conditional connectors:
  • remove input binding for conditional connectors and
  • enable/disable conditional connectors which depend on setEnthalpy parameter.
  This concerns:
  • Boundaries: CreateState, DynamicPressureInflow, DynamicPressureOutflow, Sink, Source.
  • FlowControl: MCV, PCV.
  • Undirected: BoundaryFore, BoundaryRear, MCV.
