Components evaluation (old version)

A very basic approach to calculate heat exchangers, compressores(and expanders) as well as throttles.

Heat exchangers

Simple heat exchangers, only thermodynamic balances are calculated (no UA), and by varying the mass flow rate and one state-point (temperature), a minimum approach temperature is satisfied, but only if the given restrictions allow it.

Compressors, Expanders, Pump, and Throttle

A class for single flow devices.

according to the device_type it is selected: - “machine” : According to the given pressure levels, the script decides, whether it is a compressor or an expander. At the moment the isentropic efficiency must be provided. (iso_s) - “throttle” : A throttling device (actually only iso_h) - “pump” : A pump for incompressible flow (iso_s).

Mixing Chamber (Flow Device)

For mixing two streams.
