.ThermofluidStream.Processes.Internal.FlowResistance.referencePressureLoss

Information

This function calculates the pressure drop according a reference pressure drop at a reference mass flow rate and reference density.

dp := dp_ref * rho_ref/rho * (m_flow/m_flow_ref)^m

The correlation can be assumed to be linear (m=1), quadratic (m=2) or with a custom exponent m.
