Choices … | Choices for Geometry |
Geometry | Geometric data for a thick edged orifice |
massFlowRate | Return mass flow rate m_flow as function of pressure loss dp for a thick edged orifice |
pressureLoss | Return pressure loss dp as function of mass flow rate m_flow for a thick edged orifice |
Function Modelica.Fluid.Fittings.BaseClasses.Orifices.ThickEdgedOrifice.massFlowRate
This function returns the mass flow rate m_flow as function of pressure loss dp for a thick edged orifice. The details of the function are described here.
The orifice characteristic is valid for constant density and constant dynamic viscosity. It can be approximately also used for compressible media. This is performed by providing the upstream density and upstream dynamic viscosity. In order to be able to regularize density and dynamic viscosity around zero mass flow rate, the two quantities have to be given if fluid flows from port_a to port_b (d_a, eta_a) and if fluid flows from port_b to port_a (d_b, eta_b).
