cooling_drag#
- cooling_drag(state, settings, geometry)[source]#
Computes the cooling drag based on the results of the Heat Exchanger operation
- Inputs:
- state.
- conditions.freestream.
density [kg/m^3] velocity [Knots] pressure [Pascal]
- energy.coolant_line.heat_exchanger.
pressure_differential [Pascal] mass_flow_hex [kg/s]
analyses.aerodynamics.vehicle.reference_area [m^2]
- Outputs:
cooling_drag [Unitless]
Assumptions: The density across the duct is equal to the freestream density of air. Inlet area is varied based of required inflow required
