Detailed Description

Flow device objects connect zero-dimensional reactors.

FlowDevice objects should be instantiated via the newFlowDevice() function, for example:

shared_ptr<FlowDevice> mfc = newFlowDevice("MassFlowController");

Classes
class	MassFlowController
	A class for mass flow controllers. More...
class	PressureController
	A class for flow controllers where the flow rate is equal to the flow rate of a primary mass flow controller plus a correction proportional to the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet. More...
class	Valve
	Supply a mass flow rate that is a function of the pressure drop across the valve. More...
class	FlowDevice
	Base class for 'flow devices' (valves, pressure regulators, etc.) connecting reactors. More...

Functions
shared_ptr< FlowDevice >	newFlowDevice (const string &model)
	Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.
shared_ptr< FlowDevice >	newFlowDevice3 (const string &model)
	Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.

Function Documentation

newFlowDevice()

shared_ptr< FlowDevice > newFlowDevice

(

const string &

model

)

Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.

Since

Starting in Cantera 3.1, this method returns a shared_ptr<FlowDevice>

newFlowDevice3()

shared_ptr< FlowDevice > newFlowDevice3

(

const string &

model

)

Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.

Since

New in Cantera 3.0.

Deprecated:

Transitional method. Use newFlowDevice() instead.
