.OpenHydraulics.Basic.BaseClasses.massFlowRate_dp

Information

Compute mass flow rate from constant loss factor and pressure drop (m_flow = f(dp)). For small pressure drops (dp < dp_small), the characteristic is approximated by a polynomial in order to have a finite derivative at zero mass flow rate.
