Compute pressure drop from constant loss factor and mass flow rate (dp = f(m_flow)). For small mass flow rates(|m_flow| < m_flow_small), the characteristic is approximated by a polynomial in order to have a finite derivative at zero mass flow rate.

Syntax

dp = pressureLoss_m_flow_totalPressure(m_flow, rho_a_des, rho_b_des, rho_b_nondes, rho_a_nondes, data, m_flow_small)
