modelPartialIdealGas
Base class for adiabatic thermodynamic models assuming an ideal gas (p*v = R*T)
Extends from ThermofluidStream.Idealized.Processes.AdiabaticThermodynamicModels.BaseClasses.PartialAdiabatic (Base class for adiabatic thermodynamic models for given outlet pressure).
Information
Base model of an adiabatic process. The model is supposed to compute the outlet specific enthalpy based on:
- Inlet state
- Outlet pressure
- Isentropic efficiency
The model assumes ideal gas p*v = R*T and constant isentropic exponent gamma = const..
