HydraulicsByFluidon/Components/Sensors
Description
FlowSensor acts either as volume flow or mass flow sensor, depending on the parameter Sensor type. The sensor is lossless and causes no pressure drop.
Sensor type = massFlow: Measured value = Mass flow rate through sensor Sensor type = volumeFlow: Measured value = Volume flow through sensor
