functions.mech.pow.work: Mechanical power and work

In renpow: Renewable Power Systems and the Environment

Description

Calculates and plots mechanical power and work.

Usage

pow.work(t, pow = "const", p)
pow.work.plot(x)

Arguments

t	Values of a time sequence for calculation of power
pow	Mode of power calculation, constant or linear
p	Value of power for constant or slope for linear
x	power object calculated from pow.work

Details

A call to pow.work requires three arguments: a time sequence, a type of power function such as constant or linear, and a value of power for the parameter of the function.

Value

The output of pow.work contains the values of power and work as a function of time. Then we call the plot function using its output as argument to the pow.work.plot function

t	time sequence
p.w	matrix containing with power and work
