v0.0.2 (April 07, 2018)#
New Features#
Changed architecture of the variables and component parameters. Every parameter is now a data container, giving the user more flexibility (e.g. specifiying a unit) and facilitating future development.
Changed architecture of fluid property function calls to make custom fluids or custom fluid property functions available.
Added custom fluid class to generate fluid properties from given fluid mixture.
Added generic component characteristics for turbine isentropic efficiency and cone law as well as for the heat exchangers heat transfer coefficient. On top, the user may use own values for the characteristic lines.
Added val_SI to data container for component properties for future development.
Documentation#
Added documentation on how to handle data containers for variables and parameters.
Added an example for combustion chamber usage.
Testing#
Bug fixes#
Adjusted the generic pump characteristics to cause less instabilites and adjusted function parameters according to KSB.
Fixed bug in combustion chamber’s thermal input equation.
Fixed parameters for numerical calculation of derivatives.
Fixed starting relaxation parameter.
Other changes#
Improved convergence stability for combustion chamber and heat exchanger.
