fastga_he.models.propulsion.components.source.ice.components.perf_equivalent_sl_power module

class fastga_he.models.propulsion.components.source.ice.components.perf_equivalent_sl_power.PerformancesEquivalentSeaLevelPower(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: ExplicitComponent

Because ICE tend to lose maximum power with altitude, and because we want to make sure to size the component (or at least make sure he can do what we ask of him), we will here compute what would be the maximum SL power required to achieve the power required. The formula used is the so-called Gagg and Ferrar model. Formula taken from [Gud13].

Store some bound methods so we can detect runtime overrides.

initialize()[source]

Perform any one-time initialization run at instantiation.

setup()[source]

Declare inputs and outputs.

compute(inputs, outputs, discrete_inputs=None, discrete_outputs=None)[source]

Compute outputs given inputs. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

An inherited component may choose to either override this function or to define a compute_primal function.

Parameters:

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • outputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional output variables read via outputs[key].

  • discrete_inputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete input values.

  • discrete_outputs (dict-like or None) – If not None, dict-like object containing discrete output values.

compute_partials(inputs, partials, discrete_inputs=None)[source]

Compute sub-jacobian parts. The model is assumed to be in an unscaled state.

Parameters:

  • inputs (Vector) – Unscaled, dimensional input variables read via inputs[key].

  • partials (Jacobian) – Sub-jac components written to partials[output_name, input_name]..

  • discrete_inputs (dict or None) – If not None, dict containing discrete input values.
