.BrineProp

Information

BrineProp is a modelica package that calculates the thermodynamic properties of a specified brine, i.e. an aqueous solution of salts and gases, with a potential gas phase, including degassing/evaporation and solution/condensation.

It was developed as a part of a PhD projected, documented in the thesis "Thermo-hydraulic model of the two-phase flow in the brine circuit of a geothermal power plant".

This package contains an extension of the Modelica.Media interfaces for two-phase mixtures (PartialMixtureTwoPhaseMedium), the generic brine template with the vapour-liquid-equilibrium calculation (PartialBrine_ngas_Newton), as well specific brine models for NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, [MgCl2, SrCl2 partially supported] (1-phase: Brine_5salts) and CO2, N2 and CH4 (2-phase: Brine_5salts_TwoPhase_3gas).

This package has been developed and tested in Dymola up to 2020x MSL 3.2.3 (See "Known issues").

Usage

set Advanced.PedanticModelica:=false;

Check the (non-partial) Brine packages (Brine_5salts, BrineGas_3Gas or Brine_5salts_TwoPhase_3gas) for instructions or run models from BrineProp/Examples.

All calculated values are returned in SI-Units and are mass based.
