.ThermofluidStream.Media.myMedia.IdealGases.Common.SingleGasNasa .ThermofluidStream.Media.myMedia.IdealGases.Common.SingleGasNasaThis model calculates medium properties for an ideal gas of a single substance, or for an ideal gas consisting of several substances where the mass fractions are fixed. Independent variables are temperature T and pressure p. Only density is a function of T and p. All other quantities are solely a function of T. The properties are valid in the range:
200 K ≤ T ≤ 6000 K
The following quantities are always computed:
| Variable | Unit | Description |
| h | J/kg | specific enthalpy h = h(T) |
| u | J/kg | specific internal energy u = u(T) |
| d | kg/m^3 | density d = d(p,T) |
For the other variables, see the functions in Modelica.Media.IdealGases.Common.SingleGasNasa. Note, dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity are only provided for gases that use a data record from Modelica.Media.IdealGases.FluidData. Currently these are the following gases:
Ar C2H2_vinylidene C2H4 C2H5OH C2H6 C3H6_propylene C3H7OH C3H8 C4H8_1_butene C4H9OH C4H10_n_butane C5H10_1_pentene C5H12_n_pentane C6H6 C6H12_1_hexene C6H14_n_heptane C7H14_1_heptene C8H10_ethylbenz CH3OH CH4 CL2 CO CO2 F2 H2 H2O He N2 N2O NH3 NO O2 SO2 SO3

Known limits of validity:
The data is valid for
temperatures between 200K and 6000K. A few of the data sets for
monatomic gases have a discontinuous 1st derivative at 1000K, but
this never caused problems so far.
This model has been copied from the ThermoFluid library and adapted to the Modelica.Media package.
