GunnsFluidPipe - nasa/gunns GitHub Wiki
This link extends GunnsFluidConductor with convective heat flux between the pipe wall and the fluid passing through it. As such it is functionally identical to a GunnsFluidValve without valve position, or a 1-segment GunnsFluidHeatExchanger.
The link does not modify the mixture of the fluid passing through it.
The GunnsFluidPipe can be hooked up to nodes in exactly the same ways that regular fluid conductors can.
Port Connection Rules (These are limitations on the port connection to nodes that the link enforces in run-time):
- Ports 0 and 1 cannot connect to the same non-Ground node.
Other Rules (These are extra rules you should always try to follow):
- Same as GunnsFluidConductor.
