Bond graph approach as analysis tool in thermofluid model library conception

The bond graph is a modelling and simulation tool, providing many possibilities. A methodology based on causal and behavioral bond graph analysis to build a dynamic icon model library in continuous thermofluid process is presented. The developed approach is implemented using SYMBOLS software and applied to a complex steam generator installation. The methodology given as assistant tool, is proposed so that the industrial designer can easily build a thermofluid model of most technological processes.
