modelPolynomialEngineEfficiency

Model describing engine efficiency based on polynomial approach

Extends from PartialEngineEfficiency (Based model used by all models describing engine efficiencies).

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 polynomial approach are presented below.

Implemented approaches

Actually, four polynomial approaches are 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.
