19: Fluid Flow Computations

Command Purpose
avl_link Link to the AVL Indicom combustion analysis system.
blend_scales Manage fuel weighing operations using load cells, including controlling fill valve operations and computing fuel rates based on sampling processes.
change_res Change the formatted resolution of a variable or a list of variables.
cf_scales Provide control functions for a load cell fuel system that also uses a continuous flow meter and flow control valve.
cfv_1065 Compute air mass flow on a continuous basis per the 1065 standard.
critical_flow Compute air mass flow on a continuous basis.
dummy_fr

Simulate fuel reading events by processing an event name to mimic the behavior of a fuel reading device task for testing purposes.

emcon_comm

Communicate with an AVL EMCON6 system to manage dyno control, handling data exchange via sockets, parsing configuration files, and processing input and output variables.

fa_total

Fuel Totalizing Computation.

fr_log Set a fuel reading log file name.
gas_blend Compute the ratio of three input gas streams to meet a required Heating Value and Methane Number. The outputs will be the ratios of each input stream, the Heating Value, and Methane Number of the resulting composition.
gas_distribution Set the values of CyFlex array variables that contain information about emission gases.
gas_mix Compute the gas composition of a stream which is produced by mixing two or more gas streams. The composition and mass flow of each of the input streams must be known and specified. The resulting mixed stream composition and mass flow are the outputs of this application.
gasfl Compute Air Mass Flow.
generic_scales Perform control functions for a directly controlled load cell fuel system. These functions include fill valve operation, and timing of a fuel reading. The outputs include the consumption rate, hp-specific consumption, and error statistics of the linear regression performed on the load cell value during the reading.
get_comp Display or return the value of a computed expression in the specified units.
lc_scales Perform control functions for a directly controlled load cell fuel system. These functions include fill valve operation, and timing of a fuel reading.
lfe Compute the air mass flow on a continuous basis for a laminar flow element.
oil_scales Measure the oil consumption rate of a load cell based measurement device.
scales Perform control functions for a directly controlled fuel scale system. These functions include fill valve operation, weight selection, and timing of a fuel reading.
subsonic Compute the subsonic air mass flow on a continuous basis.
take_auto Request a single fuel reading with automatic weight selection.
take_autos Request continuous fuel readings and set the fuel weight selection to automatic.
take_dum_fr Take a dummy fuel reading.
take_fr Request a single fuel reading and optionally specify a fuel weight.
take_frs Request continuous fuel readings and optionally specify a fuel weight.
urea_flow Collect and process urea flow data, including monitoring total flow and handling fault events in a continuous background service.
Vcone_flow Compute the air mass flow on from a V-cone meter.
venture Compute Air Mass Flow for a nozzle.
volef Compute Volumetric Efficiency.
volef2

Compute Volumetric Efficiency. This version (volef2) uses a spec file into which you specify an engine displacement variable rather than the number of cylinders.  This can be used for 2-cycle engines by specifying a value of displacement that is twice the actual displacement.
