Finite-response gas valve

A command changes valve opening with finite response time; opening scales the compressible restriction.

Implementation ID: gas-valve
Reviewed: 2026-10-30

Behavior

A command changes valve opening with finite response time; opening scales the compressible restriction.

Interface

Select a terminal or signal to inspect its meaning. This is a conceptual interface, not simulation output.

Ports and observed outputs
Name	Direction	Unit	Meaning
`a`	conserving	gas	Gas side A
`b`	conserving	gas	Gas side B
`Opening command`	input	fraction	Opening command is a directed fraction input to this component, expressed in fraction. Its binding supplies information; it is not a conserving connection.
`mass Flow`	output	kg/s	Directed output available to compatible consumers: mass Flow.

Signal inputs

These directed signals carry information. Conserving terminals exchange the quantities of their physical domain.

Signal outputs

Outputs can supply compatible inputs. Connections and values are inspected in the model that owns them.
