Class: `OrganicLiquid`

Description

The OrganicLiquid class represents the properties and constants for generic organic liquids.
It provides physical and thermodynamic properties required in process engineering simulations and calculations.
This class is typically used for alcohols, ketones, esters, or user-defined organic liquids in simulations.

Properties

name (string): Organic Liquid
formula (string): N/A (mixture or undefined)
molecular_weight (float): class attribute, default 100.0 g/mol; set it on the instance to change it

Class Reference

class OrganicLiquid()

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

phase(): Always "liquid" under standard 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 or polynomial 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

from processpi.components import OrganicLiquid
from processpi.units import *

# Define a generic organic liquid (example: acetic acid)
organic_liquid = OrganicLiquid(
    temperature=Temperature(25, "C"),
    pressure=Pressure(1, "atm"),
)
organic_liquid.molecular_weight = 60.05  # Example molecular weight

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