Information

This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.

This model calculates the medium properties for single component ideal gases.

Sources for model and literature:
Original Data: Computer program for calculation of complex chemical equilibrium compositions and applications. Part 1: Analysis Document ID: 19950013764 N (95N20180) File Series: NASA Technical Reports Report Number: NASA-RP-1311 E-8017 NAS 1.61:1311 Authors: Gordon, Sanford (NASA Lewis Research Center) Mcbride, Bonnie J. (NASA Lewis Research Center) Published: Oct 01, 1994.

Known limits of validity:
The data is valid for temperatures between 200 K and 6000 K. A few of the data sets for monatomic gases have a discontinuous 1st derivative at 1000 K, but this never caused problems so far.

This model has been copied from the ThermoFluid library. It has been developed by Hubertus Tummescheit.
