This file calls (line 1097) the "fPltZone_Convective_Gain" function (originally defined in "src/esruplt/Plt_zone_gain_coupling.F") to link the plant losses and its environment. The component losses is handled by "fPltComp_Gains(iComponent, iConvective )" parameter for any of plant components. But, its value is not assigned for explicit plant components. So, I wonder that explicit plant losses to the containment is addressed in ESP-r. </div> <div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> </div> <div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Is any other method used to add losses in zone casual gains?</div> <div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br> </div> <div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Regards,</div> <div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rasoul</div> </div> </body> </html>
