Ideal Gas Molar Heat Capacity (Constant Pressure)¶
Properties of Gases and Liquids uses the following correlation for the ideal gas molar heat capacity:
Parameters
Symbol | Parameter Name | Indices | Description |
---|---|---|---|
\(A, B, C, D\) | cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff | component, [‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’] |
Ideal Gas Molar Enthalpy¶
The correlation for the ideal gas molar enthalpy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:
Parameters
Symbol | Parameter Name | Indices | Description |
---|---|---|---|
\(A, B, C, D\) | cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff | component, [‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’] | |
\(\Delta h_{\text{form, Vap}}\) | enth_mol_form_vap_comp_ref | phase, component | Molar heat of formation at reference state |
Note
This correlation uses the same parameters as the ideal gas heat capacity correlation.
Ideal Gas Molar Entropy¶
The correlation for the ideal gas molar entropy is derived from the correlation for the molar heat capacity and is given below:
Parameters
Symbol | Parameter Name | Indices | Description |
---|---|---|---|
\(A, B, C, D\) | cp_mol_ig_comp_coeff | component, [‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’] | |
\(s_{\text{form, Vap}}\) | entr_mol_form_vap_comp_ref | phase, component | Standard molar entropy of formation at reference state |
Note
This correlation uses the same parameters as the ideal gas heat capacity correlation .
Saturation (Vapor) Pressure¶
Properties of Gases and Liquids uses the following correlation to calculate the vapor pressure of a component:
where \(x = 1 - \frac{T}{T_{crit}}\).
Symbol | Parameter Name | Indices | Description |
---|---|---|---|
\(A, B, C, D\) | pressure_sat_comp_coeff | component, [‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’] | |
\(P_{crit}\) | pressure_crit_comp | None | Critical pressure |
\(T_{crit}\) | temperature_crit_comp | None | Critical temperature |
Note
This correlation is only valid at temperatures below the critical temperature. Above this point, there is no real solution to the equation.
