Member Function Documentation
◆ typeStr()
|
inlinevirtual |
String indicating the flow device implemented.
Usually corresponds to the name of the derived class.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 68 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ setTimeFunction()
|
inlinevirtual |
Set a function of time that is used in determining the mass flow rate through the device.
The evaluation of mass flow depends on the derived flow device class.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 80 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ 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:
\[\dot{m} = \dot{m}_{master} + c f(\Delta P) \]
where f is a functions of pressure drop that is set by setPressureFunction. If no functions is specified, the mass flow rate defaults to:
\[\dot{m} = \dot{m}_{master} + c \Delta P \]
Definition at line 94 of file flowControllers.h.

◆ getPressureCoeff()
|
inline |
Get the pressure coefficient.
Definition at line 99 of file flowControllers.h.
References FlowDevice::m_coeff.
◆ updateMassFlowRate()
|
virtual |
Update the mass flow rate at time 'time'.
This must be overloaded in subclassess to update m_mdot.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 42 of file flowControllers.cpp.
