def append_combustor_conditions(combustor, segment, energy_conditions):
"""
Initializes combustor operating conditions for a mission segment.
Parameters
----------
combustor : RCAIDE.Library.Components.Converters.Combustor
Combustor component with the following attributes:
- tag : str
Identifier for the combustor
segment : RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Segments.Segment
Mission segment with the following attributes:
- state : Data
Segment state
- ones_row : function
Function to create array of ones with specified length
energy_conditions : RCAIDE.Framework.Mission.Common.Conditions
Energy conditions container where combustor conditions will be stored
Returns
-------
None
Results are stored in energy_conditions.converters[combustor.tag]
Notes
-----
This function initializes the necessary data structures for storing combustor
operating conditions during a mission segment. It creates a container for the
combustor in the energy conditions and initializes the non-dimensional mass ratio
with ones.
The function initializes the following in energy_conditions.converters[combustor.tag]:
- inputs : Conditions
Input conditions container
- nondim_mass_ratio : numpy.ndarray
Non-dimensional mass ratio, initialized with ones
- outputs : Conditions
Output conditions container (empty)
The non-dimensional mass ratio represents the ratio of mass flow at the combustor exit
to the mass flow at the combustor inlet, accounting for the addition of fuel.
**Major Assumptions**
* Non-dimensional mass ratio is initialized with ones (no fuel addition initially)
