Detailed Description
Supply a mass flow rate that is a function of the pressure drop across the valve.
The default behavior is a linearly proportional to the pressure difference. Note that real valves do not have this behavior, so this class does not model real, physical valves.

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:
\[\dot{m} = c \Delta P \]
Definition at line 109 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ updateMassFlowRate()
|
inlinevirtual |
Compute the currrent mass flow rate, based on the pressure difference.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
