Class: `InorganicLiquid`

Description

The InorganicLiquid class represents the properties and constants for generic inorganic liquids.
It provides physical and thermodynamic properties required in process engineering simulations and calculations.
This class is typically used as a placeholder or for defining user-specified inorganic liquids in simulations.

Properties

name (string): Inorganic Liquid
formula (string): N/A (mixture or undefined)
molecular_weight (float): class attribute, default 80.0 g/mol; set it on the instance to change it

Class Reference

class InorganicLiquid()

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 InorganicLiquid class are calculated using the following methods, inherited from the base Component class.

phase(): Always "liquid" under standard simulation conditions.
density(): User-defined or calculated from empirical correlations.
specific_heat(): User-defined or estimated based on empirical correlations.
viscosity(): User-defined or estimated using DIPPR correlations.
thermal_conductivity(): User-defined or estimated using polynomial correlation.
vapor_pressure(): Calculated using Antoine-type correlation (if applicable).
enthalpy(): Estimated from heat capacity correlation and integration over temperature range.

Examples

# Define a generic inorganic liquid (example: water)
water_liquid = InorganicLiquid(
    temperature=Temperature(25, "C"),
    pressure=Pressure(1, "atm"),
)
water_liquid.molecular_weight = 18.015

print(water_liquid.density().to("kg/m3"))
print(water_liquid.viscosity().to("Pa·s"))
print(water_liquid.specific_heat().to("J/kgK"))
print(water_liquid.thermal_conductivity().to("W/mK"))
print(water_liquid.vapor_pressure().to("Pa"))
print(water_liquid.enthalpy().to("J/kg"))
