The 4 Cases considered for HYD Fluid Properties
| Case 1: | P > Psat | there is no vapor and all air/gas is dissolved |
|---|---|---|
| Case 2: | PHvap< P < Psat | there is no vapor and part of the air/gas is dissolved and part free |
| Case 3: | PLvap < P < PHvap | there is some vapor and ALL the air/gas is free |
| Case 4: | P < PLvap | there is vapor and air/gas but NO LIQUID |
That can be schematized on the following picture:
