Result Interpretation

Calculate total shutdown time from flame loss to purge completion computes total_shutdown_time in s using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. total_shutdown_time is expressed in s. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

default_test

Given:

  • t_det = 0.3
  • t_close = 0.8
  • t_purge = 0.6
  • t_purge_init = 0.2

Expected Result:

  • total_shutdown_time = 1.9

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: total_shutdown_time = 1.9 s.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

total_shutdown_time = t_det+t_close+t_purge_init+t_purge

total_shutdown_time.
