Member Function Documentation

int type ( )

inline

Return an integer indicating the type of flow device.

Definition at line 38 of file FlowDevice.h.

doublereal massFlowRate ( double time = -999.0 )

inline

Mass flow rate (kg/s).

Definition at line 45 of file FlowDevice.h.

References FlowDevice::updateMassFlowRate().

Referenced by PressureController::updateMassFlowRate().

virtual void updateMassFlowRate ( doublereal time )

inlinevirtual

Update the mass flow rate at time 'time'.

This must be overloaded in subclassess to update m_mdot.

Reimplemented in Valve, PressureController, and MassFlowController.

Definition at line 54 of file FlowDevice.h.

Referenced by FlowDevice::massFlowRate().

doublereal outletSpeciesMassFlowRate ( size_t k )

Mass flow rate (kg/s) of outlet species k. Returns zero if this species is not present in the upstream mixture.

bool install	(	ReactorBase &	in,
		ReactorBase &	out
	)

Install a flow device between two reactors.

Parameters

in	Upstream reactor.
out	Downstream reactor.

set parameters

Definition at line 87 of file FlowDevice.h.

void setFunction ( Cantera::Func1 * f )

Set a function of a single variable that is used in determining the mass flow rate through the device.

The meaning of this function depends on the parameterization of the derived type.

Definition at line 40 of file FlowDevice.cpp.

void setMassFlowRate ( doublereal mdot )

inline

Set the fixed mass flow rate (kg/s) through the flow device.

Definition at line 98 of file FlowDevice.h.
