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.
