Detailed Description
A class for flow controllers where the flow rate is equal to the flow rate of a "master" mass flow controller plus a correction proportional to the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet.
Definition at line 46 of file flowControllers.h.
Member Function Documentation
◆ setPressureCoeff()
|
inline |
Set the proportionality constant between pressure drop and mass flow rate.
c has units of kg/s/Pa. The mass flow rate is computed as:
\[\dot{m} = \dot{m}_{master} + c \Delta P \]
Definition at line 67 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ updateMassFlowRate()
|
inlinevirtual |
Update the mass flow rate at time 'time'.
This must be overloaded in subclassess to update m_mdot.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 71 of file flowControllers.h.
