Information

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

This 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

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 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.
