functionpowerLaw_m_flow_der2

2nd derivative of function that computes pressure drop for given mass flow rate

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

Information

Function that implements the second order derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_m_flow with respect to the mass flow rate m_flow, assuming constant flow coefficients.

When called with m_flow_der=der(m_flow) and m_flow_der2=der(m_flow_der), this function returns the second order derivative of dp with respect to time. When called with m_flow_der=1 and m_flow_der2=0, this function returns the second order derivative of dp with respect to m_flow.
