Detailed Description

A class for mass flow controllers.

The mass flow rate is constant or specified as a function of time..

Definition at line 22 of file flowControllers.h.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void updateMassFlowRate ( doublereal  time)
inlinevirtual

If a function of time has been specified for mdot, then update the stored mass flow rate.

Otherwise, mdot is a constant, and does not need updating.

Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
