functionbasicFlowFunction_m_flow_inv_der

1st derivative of basicFlowFunction_m_flow_inv

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

Information

Function that implements the first order derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_m_flow_inv, assuming constant flow coefficients.

When called with dp_der=der(dp), this function returns the time derivative of m_flow. When called with dp_der=1, this function returns the derivative of m_flow with respect to dp.

Implementation

The derivative of the inverse function is the reciprocal of the derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_m_flow, which is computed by Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_m_flow_der.
