Properties of dry air calculated using the equation of state by Lemmon et. al.
Information
This model calculates medium properties
for air in the liquid, gas and two phase regions.
Three variable pairs can be the independent variables of the model:
- Pressure p and specific enthalpy h are the most natural choice for general applications. This is the recommended choice for most general purpose applications.
- Pressure p and temperature T are the most natural choice for applications where air is always in the same phase (liquid or gas).
- Density d and temperature T are explicit variables of the Helmholtz function in the near-critical region and can be the best choice for applications with super-critical or near-critical states.
The following quantities are always computed:

| T |

| u |

specific internal energy |
| d |
kg/m^3 |

| p |

| h |

specific enthalpy |
In some cases additional medium properties are needed.
A component that needs these optional properties has to call
one of the functions listed in
Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumUsage.OptionalProperties and in
Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.MediumUsage.TwoPhase.
Many further properties can be computed. Using the well-known Bridgman's Tables, all first partial derivatives of the standard thermodynamic variables can be computed easily.
Extends from Modelica.Media.Interfaces.PartialPureSubstance (Base class for pure substances of one chemical substance).
