Detailed Description

ConnectorNode objects connect zero-dimensional reactors.

ConnectorNode objects should be instantiated via the newConnectorNode() function, for example:

shared_ptr<ConnectorNode> valve = newConnectorNode("Valve", r0, r1, "my_valve");

where r0 and r1 are reactor objects.

New in Cantera 3.2.

Classes
class	ConnectorNode
	Base class for walls and flow devices connecting reactors. More...
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...
class	WallBase
	Base class for 'walls' (walls, pistons, etc.) connecting reactors. More...
class	Wall
	Represents a wall between between two ReactorBase objects. More...

newFlowDevice() [1/2]

shared_ptr< FlowDevice > newFlowDevice	(	const string &	model,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.

Since

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

Deprecated:

To be removed after Cantera 3.2. Use version that provides reactors as parameter instead.

newFlowDevice() [2/2]

shared_ptr< FlowDevice > newFlowDevice	(	const string &	model,
		shared_ptr< ReactorBase >	r0,
		shared_ptr< ReactorBase >	r1,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a FlowDevice object of the specified type.

Parameters

model	String specifying reactor type.
r0	First reactor.
r1	Second reactor.
name	Name of the connector.

newWall() [1/2]

shared_ptr< WallBase > newWall	(	const string &	model,
		const string &	name = "(none)"
	)

Create a WallBase object of the specified type.

Since

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

Deprecated:
