plot_reservoir_conditions(reservoir, results, coolant_line, save_figure=False, show_legend=True, save_filename='Reservoir_Conditions', file_type='.png', width=11, height=7)[source]#

Creates visualization of thermal reservoir temperature conditions throughout flight.

Parameters:

reservoir (Component) –
Thermal reservoir component containing:
- tagstr
  Unique identifier for the reservoir
results (Results) –
RCAIDE results data structure containing:
- segments[i].conditions.frames.inertial.time[:,0]
  Time history for each segment
- segments[i].conditions.energy[coolant_line.tag][reservoir.tag]
  
  Reservoir data containing:
  
  coolant_temperature[:,0]
  Coolant temperature in K
coolant_line (Component) –
Coolant line component containing:
- tagstr
  Unique identifier for the coolant circuit
save_figure (bool, optional) – Flag for saving the figure (default: False)
show_legend (bool, optional) – Flag to display segment legend (default: True)
save_filename (str, optional) – Name of file for saved figure (default: “Reservoir_Conditions”)
file_type (str, optional) – File extension for saved figure (default: “.png”)
width (float, optional) – Figure width in inches (default: 11)
height (float, optional) – Figure height in inches (default: 7)

Returns:

fig – Handle to the generated figure containing single plot:

Return type:

matplotlib.figure.Figure

Notes

Creates visualization showing:

Reservoir thermal state
Temperature evolution
Time history for each segment

Definitions

‘Thermal Reservoir’: Component storing thermal energy in coolant
