ksi expresses how many dynamic pressure is lost. It is assumed to be constant and therefore independent of the flow regime.
The mass flow rate relation derives:
Where:
dp is the pressure difference between port_a.p and port_b.p ksi is the pressure loss coefficient d is the upstream density Vel is fluid velocity m_flow is the mass flow rate through the pipe A is cross section of the pipe To avoid infinite derivative at dp=0, The square root is replaced by the function regRoot2 of the MSL that replace the square root by a polynomial expression to insure a finite derivative. The threshold to switch between the polynom and the square root is abs(dp≤0.1) Pa
