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.
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.
