Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ReceiverTank() [1/9]

ReceiverTank::ReceiverTank	(	Method	method,
		double	airDemand,
		double	allowablePressureDrop,
		double	atmosphericPressure
	)

Constructor for ReceiverTank - This is required when we need to order a receiver tank to meet our compressed air requirements. This calculator computes the quantity of compressed air that is actually available for use. When air receivers are installed, the system’s pressure profile and lack of storage limit the effectiveness of compressed air energy storage. Hence this calculator proves useful in such a context.

Parameters

method	ReceiverTank::Method, Calculation Method, in this case it must be General
airDemand	const double, Amount of air needed, which comes out of the receiver tank - cubic ft
allowablePressureDrop	const double, This decides the pressure drop inside the receiver tank that we can tolerate - psi
atmosphericPressure	const double, This is generally 14.7 psi. In case the receiver tank is at higher altitude location, the respective atmospheric pressure at that location can be given - psi
