.ThermalSeparation.Media.WaterBasedLiquid.N2_H2O

Information

This model calculates medium properties for water in the liquid, gas and two phase regions according to the IAPWS/IF97 standard, i.e., the accepted industrial standard and best compromise between accuracy and computation time. For more details see Modelica.Media.Water.IF97_Utilities. Three variable pairs can be the independent variables of the model:

1. Pressure p and specific enthalpy h are the most natural choice for general applications. This is the recommended choice for most general purpose applications, in particular for power plants.
2. Pressure p and temperature T are the most natural choice for applications where water is always in the same phase, both for liquid water and steam.
3. Density d and temperature T are explicit variables of the Helmholtz function in the near-critical region and can be the best choice for applications with super-critical or near-critial states.

In some cases additional medium properties are needed. A component that needs these optional properties has to call one of the functions listed in Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumUsage.OptionalProperties and in Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumUsage.TwoPhase.

Many further properties can be computed. Using the well-known Bridgman's Tables, all first partial derivatives of the standard thermodynamic variables can be computed easily.
