Components evaluation
=========================

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).
