Information

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

This function calculates the surface tension of R134a from the saturation record (e.g., use setSat_T function for input). The property is modelled by an approach of Okada and Higashi (1994).

Restrictions

This property is only defined in two-phase region.
