TEST_F() [5/7]

TEST_F	(	NaClFluidPropertiesTest	,
		halite
	)

Verify calculation of the NACL properties the solid halite phase.

Density data from Brown, "The NaCl pressure standard", J. Appl. Phys., 86 (1999).

Values for cp and enthalpy are difficult to compare against. Instead, the values provided by the BrineFluidProperties UserObject were compared against simple correlations, eg. from NIST sodium chloride data.

Values for thermal conductivity from Urqhart and Bauer, Experimental determination of single-crystal halite thermal conductivity, diffusivity and specific heat from -75 C to 300 C, Int. J. Rock Mech. and Mining Sci., 78 (2015)
