Component Table Data

net.source

Parameter	Datatype	Value Range	Explanation
name	string		Name of the source
junction	integer		Index of connected junction
mdot_kg_per_s	float	\(\geq\) 0	The mass flow injected by the source [kg/s]
scaling	float	\(\geq\) 0	Scaling factor for the injected mass flow
in_service	boolean	True / False	Specifies if the source is in service.
type	string		Type variable to classify sources

Physical Model

A source component injects a specified mass flow into the system. The source is connected to a specified node.

Sources are typically used to model producing units in hydraulic systems. Please note that sources cannot be used to model heat sources for the pandapipes heat mode. In this case, to model a heat flow entering the system, the heat exchanger component can be used.
