functiondp_curvedOverall_MFLOW
Pressure loss of curved bend | calculate mass flow rate | overall flow regime | surface roughness
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).
Information
Calculation of pressure loss in curved bends at overall flow regime for incompressible and single-phase fluid flow through circular cross sectional area considering surface roughness.
Generally this function is numerically best used for the compressible case if the pressure loss (dp) is known (out of pressures as state variable) and the mass flow rate (M_FLOW) has to be calculated. On the other hand the function dp_curvedOverall_DP is numerically best used for the incompressible case, where the mass flow rate (m_flow) is known (as state variable) in the used model and the corresponding pressure loss (DP) has to be calculated. See more information .

2014-12-01 Stefan Wischhusen: Introduced an expansion in variables v_lam and v_tra for numerical improvement at close to zero flows.2014-12-12 Stefan Wischhusen: Factor A2 corrected for R/D > 0.55-0.7. The factor is now 6e3 instead of 4e3.
