functionder_equalPercentage

Derivative of valve opening characteristics for equal percentage valve

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

This function computes the derivative of the opening characteristics of an equal percentage valve.

The function is the derivative of Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.BaseClasses.equalPercentage.
