Class: Ozone

Description

The Ozone class represents the properties and constants for Ozone (O₃).
It provides physical and thermodynamic properties required in process engineering simulations and calculations.
All constants are from Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, 8th ed., Section 2 (compound no. 276).

Properties

  • name (string): Ozone
  • formula (string): O₃
  • molecular_weight (float): 47.998 g/mol

Class Reference

class Ozone()

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
* phase: str, default = None ("liquid" or "gas" overrides the vapor-pressure test)

Methods

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

  • phase(): Detects the phase of the substance ("liquid" or "gas") by comparing the system pressure and vapor pressure. (At standard conditions ozone is a gas, above its critical temperature (261 K); it boils at 161.8 K (-111.3 °C) at 1 atm by its Table 2-8 row.)
  • density():
  • Liquid Phase: DIPPR Eq. 105 (Perry's Table 2-32)
  • Gas Phase: Uses the Ideal Gas Law
  • specific_heat():
  • Liquid Phase: Polynomial function of temperature (Perry's Table 2-153)
  • Gas Phase: Ideal-gas heat capacity (Cp), DIPPR Eq. 107 (Perry's Table 2-156)
  • viscosity():
  • Liquid Phase: DIPPR Eq. 101 (Perry's Table 2-313)
  • Gas Phase: Uses Sutherland’s Law with the base class's air constants (no gas viscosity data for this component yet)
  • thermal_conductivity():
  • Liquid Phase: Polynomial function of temperature (Perry's Table 2-315)
  • Gas Phase: Vapor thermal conductivity (k), DIPPR Eq. 102 (Perry's Table 2-314)
  • vapor_pressure(): DIPPR Eq. 101 (Perry's Table 2-8). Above the critical temperature, as at 25 °C here, the value is the correlation extrapolated past its range: phase() uses it, but it is not a physical vapor pressure.
  • enthalpy(): Enthalpy of vaporization (ΔHvap), DIPPR Eq. 106 (Perry's Table 2-150). It is 0 above the critical temperature.

Examples

from processpi.components import Ozone
from processpi.units import *

o3 = Ozone(temperature=Temperature(25, "C"))
print(o3.phase())
print(o3.density().to("kg/m3"))
print(o3.viscosity().to("Pa·s"))
print(o3.specific_heat().to("J/kgK"))
print(o3.thermal_conductivity().to("W/mK"))
print(o3.vapor_pressure().to("Pa"))
print(o3.enthalpy().to("J/kg"))
