FluidProperties System

Overview

FluidProperties objects define interfaces for computing thermodynamic properties of fluids (liquids and gases).

Interfaces

Because two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties define a thermodynamic state, most interfaces in these objects are of the form where is the desired thermodynamic property and and are independent, intensive thermodynamic properties that define the thermodynamic state. The corresponding function name is f_from_a_b. See the following table for the list of thermodynamic properties and their corresponding names in the interfaces:
