modelPowerEngineEfficiency

Model describing flow engine efficiency on power approach

Extends from PartialEngineEfficiency.

Information

This model contains a calculation procedure for engine efficiency models (for more information, please check out AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.BaseClasses.PartialCompression). The calculation procedures based on a power approach are presented below.

Implemented approaches

Actually, one power approache is implemented in this package. To add further calculation procedures, just add its name in AixLib.Fluid.Movers.Compressors.Utilities.Types and expand the if-structure.
