Reservoir (TPF)#

The Reservoir (TPF) block models a tank of infinite volume with a given constant value of excess pressure and temperature (specific internal energy).

The user can select the method for specifying the energy of the medium in the tank through the Medium energy specification field.

In controlled mode, the energy and pressure parameters can change their values during the calculation process and are set by sending a signal to the corresponding ports of the block.
