Signal Process

Library:
Fissile Facility Flow Modeler/Common

Description

The signal process block applies user specified modification fractions to the signal to simulate a process. These values are assumed to be \(\in[0,1]\), although any float can be provided.

Mask dialog options

Reduction multipliers : float

The fraction by which to reduce the input signal for a specific species. These can be added or removed using the buttons under the table. Species specification can are to be elemental or isotopic in nature without any hyphenation; e.g.; h or cs137. Reduction multipliers are expected to be floats \(\in[0,1]\) with 1 indicating all of the species is removed and 0 that none is removed. By default, species not entered in this table will be assumed to have a value of 0.

Example:

Isotope or Element	Reduction Multiplier
h3	0.10
c12	1.00

Here, 10% of h³ and 100% of c¹² is removed from incoming entities, In(C), and placed into the Rmvd(C) entity.

Warning

Entries in the reduction multiplier table are processed in order. Consequently, earlier entries might be overwritten by later entries. For example the table:

Isotope or Element	Reduction Multiplier
c	0.10
c12	1.00

10% of all carbon will be removed except for c12. All of the c12 will be removed. Similar behavior occurs if specifying all as an entry followed by specific elements or isotopes.

It is important to consider the order of entries in the table! Specifying all as the final table entry will result in overwriting all previously entered table values with the value from all

Ports

In(C) : signal

Signal to modify. Has shape [1677, 1] that represents the different isotopes tracked by F3M.

Outputs

Res(D) : signal

Residual signal after reduction multipliers have been applied.

Rmvd(D) : signal

Signal representing the component that was removed from the original signal.

Inv : signal

Continuous inventory signal with shape [1677, 1]. Updated when entities enter or leave the block. Both Res(D) and Rmvd(D) is removed from inventory when leaving the block.
