Hydraulic Constant Flow Rate Source

(To be removed) Ideal source of hydraulic energy, characterized by constant flow rate

The Hydraulic library will be removed in a future release. Use the Isothermal Liquid library instead. (since R2020a)

Hydraulic Sources

  • Hydraulic Constant Flow Rate Source block

Description

The Hydraulic Constant Flow Rate Source block represents an ideal source of hydraulic energy that is powerful enough to maintain specified flow rate at its outlet regardless of the pressure differential across the source. The Source flow rate parameter specifies the flow rate through the source.

Block connections T and P correspond to the hydraulic inlet and outlet ports, respectively. The block positive direction is from port T to port P.

Parameters

Source flow rate

Specifies the flow rate through the source. The default value is 0.001 m^3/s.

Ports

The block has the following ports:

T

Hydraulic conserving port associated with the source inlet.

P

Hydraulic conserving port associated with the source outlet.

Extended Capabilities

C/C++ Code Generation
Generate C and C++ code using Simulink® Coder™.

Version History

Introduced in R2011a

R2023a: To be removed

The Hydraulic library will be removed in a future release. Use the Isothermal Liquid library instead. Blocks in the Isothermal Liquid library provide increased accuracy, usability, and numerical performance.
