FluidProperties System

Overview

FluidProperties objects define interfaces for computing thermodynamic properties of fluids (liquids and gases).

Interfaces

Because two independent, intensive thermodynamic properties define a thermodynamic state, most interfaces in these objects are of the form $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ac94082d-fd46-4e34-96fd-f48b0a7df3ce");katex.render("f(a,b)", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false,macros:{"\\eqc":"\\,,","\\eqp":"\\,.","\\pd":"\\frac{\\partial #1}{\\partial #2}","\\pr":"\\left(#1\\right)","\\ddt":"\\frac{d #1}{d t}"}});$ where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-b76fd9bd-a101-49f8-ac55-78153f98bdc5");katex.render("f", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false,macros:{"\\eqc":"\\,,","\\eqp":"\\,.","\\pd":"\\frac{\\partial #1}{\\partial #2}","\\pr":"\\left(#1\\right)","\\ddt":"\\frac{d #1}{d t}"}});$ is the desired thermodynamic property and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-4ff1c8cb-7788-414c-aea9-4cb24ed5102f");katex.render("a", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false,macros:{"\\eqc":"\\,,","\\eqp":"\\,.","\\pd":"\\frac{\\partial #1}{\\partial #2}","\\pr":"\\left(#1\\right)","\\ddt":"\\frac{d #1}{d t}"}});$ and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-d28409ae-fe15-4188-ac59-13de10fa135d");katex.render("b", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false,macros:{"\\eqc":"\\,,","\\eqp":"\\,.","\\pd":"\\frac{\\partial #1}{\\partial #2}","\\pr":"\\left(#1\\right)","\\ddt":"\\frac{d #1}{d t}"}});$ are independent, intensive thermodynamic properties that define the thermodynamic state.
