Single component physical properties
Liquid
Single component physical properties: Liquid Equation 2 for the bulk modulus is still valid for the liquid:
And after a first integration:
Depending of the type of fluid properties chosen, the liquid bulk modulus and density will be computed as:
- For elementary and elementary with calculated viscosity type of fluid properties, the liquid bulk modulus is constant , then we obtain for the liquid density:
For elementary the density is not dependent of the temperature:
Then: Equation 6: Elementary liquid density
- For advanced and advanced with calculated viscosity types of fluid properties, the liquid bulk modulus is linear in function of the pressure through the slope of bulk modulus α [%]:
Which gives after integration: Equation 7: Advanced liquid density
If the slope α = 0, the elementary results can be applied.
- For “advanced using tables” type of fluid properties, depending of the definition mode chosen, the liquid density and/or the bulk modulus are computed with respect to Equation 2. The tables data are linearly interpolated in both pressure and temperature directions.
