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 Perform control functions for a load cell fuel system integrated with a continuous flow meter and flow control valve. The program manages fill valve operations, calculates flow rates, and processes fuel readings, outputting consumption rates and error statistics.
cfv_1065 Compute air mass flow on a continuous basis per the 1065 standard using inputs from a specification file.
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

Perform continuous fuel and air flow totalizing computations for engine performance, including summing rates and calculating metrics like air-fuel ratio.

fr_log Set a fuel reading log file name.
gas_blend Compute the ratios of three input gas streams to achieve a specified heating value and methane number for the resulting mixture.
gas_distribution Set the values of CyFlex array variables that contain information about emission gases and perform actions based on cylinder states.
gas_mix Compute the gas composition of a stream produced by mixing two or more gas streams, using the composition and mass flow of input streams to determine the mixed stream’s composition and mass flow.
gasfl Compute gaseous mass flow rates for up to 8 meters based on input specifications.
generic_scales Perform control functions for a directly controlled load cell fuel system, including fill valve operation, timing of fuel readings, and computation of consumption rates with error statistics from linear regression.
