An exit element is used to model the exit from a gas pipe into a large
chamber. For an exit the value of
is 1. It is described by the following constants (to be specified in that order on
the line beneath the *FLUID SECTION, TYPE=RESTRICTOR
EXIT card):
- cross section of the exit
.
- not used (internally: set to 100,000
as downstream section)
- hydraulic diameter
defined by
where
is the
perimeter of the cross section.
- number of the upstream element; this element must be of type GAS PIPE FANNO
- oil mass flow in the restrictor (only if the OIL parameter is used to define
the kind of oil in the *FLUID SECTION card)
- not used (internally: oil material number)
By specifying the parameter LIQUID on the *FLUID SECTION card the loss is
calculated for liquids. In the absence of this parameter, compressible losses
are calculated.
