.Buildings.Fluid.Utilities.extendedPolynomial

Polynomial that is linearly extended at user specified values

Information

For x between the bounds x_min < x < x_max, this function defines a polynomial

y = ∑_i=1ⁿ c_i x^i-1

where n > 1 and x_min, x_max are parameters. For x < x_min and x > x_max, the polynomial is replaced by a linear function in such a way that the first derivative is continuous everywhere.

Interface

function extendedPolynomial
  extends Modelica.Icons.Function;
  input Real x "x value";
  input Real[:] c "Polynomial coefficients";
  input Real xMin "Minimum x value for polynomial";
  input Real xMax "Maximum x value for polynomial";
  output Real y "y value";
end extendedPolynomial;
