Member Function Documentation
◆ typeStr()
|
inlinevirtual |
String indicating the flow device implemented.
Usually corresponds to the name of the derived class.
- Deprecated:
- To be removed after Cantera 2.6. Use type() instead.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 24 of file flowControllers.h.
References Cantera::warn_deprecated().
◆ type()
|
inlinevirtual |
String indicating the flow device implemented.
Usually corresponds to the name of the derived class.
Reimplemented from FlowDevice.
Definition at line 30 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ setMassFlowRate()
| void setMassFlowRate | ( | double | mdot | ) |
Set the fixed mass flow rate (kg/s) through the mass flow controller.
Definition at line 16 of file flowControllers.cpp.
◆ setMassFlowCoeff()
|
inline |
Set the mass flow coefficient.
m has units of kg/s. The mass flow rate is computed as:
\[\dot{m} = m g(t) \]
where g is a function of time that is set by setTimeFunction. If no function is specified, the mass flow rate defaults to:
\[\dot{m} = m \]
Definition at line 45 of file flowControllers.h.
References FlowDevice::m_coeff.
◆ getMassFlowCoeff()
|
inline |
Get the mass flow coefficient.
Definition at line 50 of file flowControllers.h.
References FlowDevice::m_coeff.
◆ setPressureFunction()
|
inlinevirtual |
Set a function of pressure 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 54 of file flowControllers.h.
◆ updateMassFlowRate()
|
virtual |
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.
Definition at line 24 of file flowControllers.cpp.
