convertAlpha

Converts alpha from temperature 1 (default 20 degC) to temperature 2

Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

From the temperature coefficient alpha1 at temperature T1 (default 20 degC = 293.15 K) the temperature coefficient alpha2 at temperature T2 is calculated:

                alpha1
  alpha2 = ------------------------
            1 + alpha1 * (T2 - T1)

Syntax

alpha2 = convertAlpha(alpha1, T2, T1)
