Abstract
This article, together with two companion papers, offers a
general methodology for modeling thermodynamical phenomena
using true, rather than pseudo-, bond graphs. This paper
deals in particular with the difficult problem of modeling
mass
flows in a thermodynamic sense, i.e. with the formulation
of mathematical models of convective
flows. No quasi-stationary
or
flow-equilibrium assumptions were made, such that the models
generated using the proposed methodology would be kept as general
as possible.
