energy_calc()

def SUAVE.Components.Energy.Cooling.Cryogenic_Heat_Exchanger.Cryogenic_Heat_Exchanger.energy_calc	(		self,
			cooling_power,
			conditions
	)

This calculates the mass of cryogen required to achieve the desired cooling power given the temperature of the cryogen supplied, and the desired temperature of the cryogenic equipment.

Assumptions:
Perfect thermal conduction of the cryogen to the cooled equipment.

Source:

Inputs:
cryogenic_heat_exchanger.
    cryogen_inlet_temperature       [K]
    cryogen_outlet_temperature      [K]
    cryogen_pressure                [Pa]

Outputs:
cryogen_mass_flow                   [kg/s]
