Detailed Description
Represents a wall between between two ReactorBase objects.
Walls can move (changing the volume of the adjacent reactors) and allow heat transfer between reactors.
Member Function Documentation
◆ type()
|
inlinevirtual |
◆ setVelocity()
|
inline |
Set the wall velocity to a specified function of time, i.e. \( v(t) \).
Definition at line 128 of file Wall.h.
References Wall::m_vf.
◆ vdot()
|
virtual |
Rate of volume change (m^3/s) for the adjacent reactors.
The volume rate of change is given by
\[ \dot V = K A (P_{left} - P_{right}) + F(t) \]
where K is the specified expansion rate coefficient, A is the wall area, and F(t) is a specified function of time. Positive values for vdot correspond to increases in the volume of reactor on left, and decreases in the volume of the reactor on the right.
Reimplemented from WallBase.
Definition at line 39 of file Wall.cpp.
References Func1::eval(), Wall::m_k, Wall::m_vf, and ReactorBase::pressure().
◆ setHeatFlux()
|
inline |
Specify the heat flux function \( q_0(t) \).
Definition at line 148 of file Wall.h.
References Wall::m_qf.
◆ Q()
|
virtual |
Heat flow rate through the wall (W).
The heat flux is given by
\[ Q = h A (T_{left} - T_{right}) + A G(t) \]
where h is the heat transfer coefficient, A is the wall area, and G(t) is a specified function of time. Positive values denote a flux from left to right.
