[TRNSYS-users] What is the purpose of Type 11d? (Controlled Flow Mixer)




Dear TRNSYS users,

I would like to ask how is the Controlled flow mixer (Type 11d) supposed to be used. In the explanation about the control signal (one of the inputs of the component) there is this equation:

mdot,out = mdot,in,1*(1-Y) + mdot,in,2*Y

Y is the control signal. Sincerely I don't see a physical explanation for this valve, because the outflow is not the sume of the two inlet flows. Where does the rest of the fluid go? The valve has only one outlet flow (given by the equation above) and one outlet temperature.

Regards,

Adrian Riebel
