functionpowerLaw_m_flow_inv_der
1st derivative of powerLaw_m_flow_inv
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
Information
Function that implements the first order derivative of Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_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.powerLaw_m_flow, which is computed by Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.powerLaw_m_flow_der.
