modelNominalLinear

linear pressure drop with nominal values

Extends from ThermalSeparation.PressureLoss.RandomPackedColumn.BasicPressureLossPacked (basic pressure loss model for a plate column).

Information

Pressure loss model of the form:

delta_p = K*Vdot, 
where K is constant. K is determined from the nominal volume flow rate and the nominal pressure drop of the column.
