modelPowerFlowCoefficient

Model describing flow coefficient based on power approach

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialFlowCoefficient.

Information

This model contains calculation procedures for flow coefficients (for more information, please check out AixLib.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ExpansionValves.BaseClasses.PartialExpansionValve). The calculation procedures based on a power approach and are presented below.

Implemented approaches

Actually, three power approaches are implemented in this package. To add further calculation procedures, just add its name in AixLib.Fluid.Actuators.Valves.ExpansionValves.Utilities.Choices and expand the if-structure.
