Library of media property models
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Package (Icon for standard packages).
Information
This library contains interface definitions for media and the following property models for single and multiple substance fluids with one and multiple phases:
- Ideal gases:
1241 high precision gas models based on the NASA Glenn coefficients, plus ideal gas mixture models based on the same data. - Water models:
ConstantPropertyLiquidWater, WaterIF97 (high precision water model according to the IAPWS/IF97 standard) - Air models:
SimpleAir, DryAirNasa, ReferenceAir, MoistAir, ReferenceMoistAir. -
Incompressible media:
TableBased incompressible fluid models (properties are defined by tables rho(T), HeatCapacity_cp(T), etc.) -
Compressible liquids:
Simple liquid models with linear compressibility - Refrigerant Tetrafluoroethane (R134a).
The following parts are useful, when newly starting with this library:
- Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.
- Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumUsage describes how to use a medium model in a component model.
- Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumDefinition describes how a new fluid medium model has to be implemented.
- Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.ReleaseNotes summarizes the changes of the library releases.
- Modelica.Media.Examples contains examples that demonstrate the usage of this library.
