Thermodynamic properties of heat carrier fluids

class PythonModel.fluids.ConstantPropertyWater

Bases: object

Object for the evaluation of thermal properties of heat transfer fluid Water.

get_Density(**kwargs)

Returns the density of water.

Returns:Density of water at 20 C (kg/m3)
Usage: Type
>>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
>>> '%.2f' % flu.get_Density()
'998.21'
get_SpecificIsobaricHeatCapacity(**kwargs)

Returns the specific isobaric heat capacity of water.

Returns:Specific isobaric heat capacity of water at 20 C (J/(kg.K))
Usage: Type
>>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
>>> '%.2f' % flu.get_SpecificIsobaricHeatCapacity()
'4184.05'
get_SpecificVolume(**kwargs)

Returns the specific volume of water.

Returns:Specific volume of water at 20 C (m3/kg)
Usage: Type
>>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
>>> '%.8f' % flu.get_SpecificVolume()
'0.00100180'
modelicaModelPath()

Returns the full path to the water model in the IBPSA library.

Returns:Full path to the water model in the IBPSA library.

Note

The minimum temperature is set to -50 C to avoid the Modelica model from failing.

Usage: Type
>>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
>>> flu.modelicaModelPath()
'Modelica.Media.Water.ConstantPropertyLiquidWater(T_min=223.15)'
