Information

This model calculates medium properties for air in the liquid, gas and two phase regions. 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.
2. Pressure p and temperature T are the most natural choice for applications where air is always in the same phase (liquid or gas).
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-critical states.

The following quantities are always computed:

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.
