append_expansion_nozzle_conditions#
- append_expansion_nozzle_conditions(expansion_nozzle, segment, energy_conditions)[source]#
Initializes and appends expansion nozzle conditions to the energy conditions dictionary.
- Parameters:
expansion_nozzle (ExpansionNozzle) – The expansion nozzle component for which conditions are being initialized.
segment (Segment) – The mission segment in which the expansion nozzle is operating.
energy_conditions (dict) – Dictionary containing conditions for all propulsion components.
- Return type:
None
Notes
This function creates empty Conditions objects for the expansion nozzle’s inputs and outputs within the energy_conditions dictionary. These conditions will be populated during the mission analysis process.
The expansion nozzle conditions typically include thermodynamic properties such as temperatures, pressures, and velocities at the inlet and outlet of the nozzle.
