MATLAB: Moisture in pneumatic model

Question

Hello, Maybe some of you know if there is any possibility to model in pneumatic flow of air with moisture: say compressor generates air with 80 % moisture and then air goes through air dryer which decreases moisture to 20 %. Is it possible to model such thing in pneumatics? I know that it is based on ideal gas laws and humid air is not exactly ideal gas.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

As you point out, the pneumatic blocks in Simscape are based on the ideal gas law, so no, it's not directly possible to model moisture in the air. It might be possible to do so with the Simscape language by creating a new domain, but that's no easy task.

HTH,
