Class: `Chlorine`

Description

The Chlorine class represents the properties and constants for Chlorine (Cl₂).
It provides physical and thermodynamic properties required in process engineering simulations and calculations.

Properties

name (string): Chlorine
formula (string): Cl₂
molecular_weight (float): 70.90 g/mol

Class Reference

class Chlorine()

Parameters:
temperature: Temperature, default = Temperature(25,"C")
pressure: Pressure, default = Pressure(1,"atm")
density: Density, default = None
specific_heat: SpecificHeat, default = None
viscosity: Viscosity, default = None
thermal_conductivity: ThermalConductivity, default = None
vapor_pressure: Pressure, default = None
enthalpy: HeatOfVaporization, default = None

Methods

The properties of the Chlorine class are calculated using the following methods, which are inherited from the base Component class.

phase(): Detects the phase of the substance ("gas" or "liquid") by comparing system temperature and pressure to chlorine’s vapor pressure. (At standard conditions, chlorine is a gas.)
density():
- Gas Phase: Calculates density using the Ideal Gas Law
- Liquid Phase: Uses DIPPR correlation (cryogenic/refrigerated conditions)
specific_heat(): Calculates specific heat capacity (Cp) as a polynomial function of temperature
viscosity():
- Gas Phase: Uses Sutherland’s Law
- Liquid Phase: Uses DIPPR correlation
thermal_conductivity(): Calculates thermal conductivity (k) as a polynomial function of temperature
vapor_pressure(): Calculates vapor pressure using Antoine-type correlations
enthalpy(): Calculates enthalpy of vaporization (ΔHvap) using correlations based on reduced temperature
