functionpowerLaw_dp_inv_der
1st derivative of powerLaw_dp_inv
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
Information
Function that implements the first order derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_dp_inv, assuming constant flow coefficients.
When called with m_flow_der=der(m_flow), this function returns
the time derivative of dp.
When called with m_flow_der=1, this function returns
the derivative of dp with respect to m_flow.
Implementation
The derivative of the inverse function is the reciprocal of the derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_dp, which is computed by Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_dp_der.
