This unit model is formulated as a single-input, double-output model form. See documentation for single-input, double-output Helper Methods<sido_methods>.
Electricity consumption is calculated using the constant_intensity helper function. See documentation for Helper Methods for Electricity Demand<electricity_methods>.
Costing is calculated using the :py~watertap.core.zero_order_base.ZeroOrderBaseData.cost_power_law_flow method. For full details on costing, see documentation for the zero-order costing package<zero_order_costing>.
