Information

This component defines only the laminar region of wall friction: dp = k*m_flow, where "k" depends on density and dynamic viscosity. The roughness of the wall does not have an influence on the laminar flow and therefore argument roughness is ignored. Since this is a linear relationship, the occurring systems of equations are usually much simpler (e.g., either linear instead of non-linear). By using nominal values for density and dynamic viscosity, the systems of equations can still further be reduced.

In UsersGuide the complete friction regime is illustrated. This component describes only the Hagen-Poiseuille equation.

pressureLoss_m_flow	Return pressure loss dp as function of mass flow rate m_flow, i.e., dp = f(m_flow), due to wall friction
massFlowRate_dp_staticHead	Return mass flow rate m_flow as function of pressure loss dp, i.e., m_flow = f(dp), due to wall friction and static head
pressureLoss_m_flow_staticHead	Return pressure loss dp as function of mass flow rate m_flow, i.e., dp = f(m_flow), due to wall friction and static head
