CoolProp::SaturationAncillaryFunction Class Reference

Detailed Description

This is generalized class that can be used to manage an ancillary curve, here they are ancillary curves for saturation pressure, density, enthalpy, entropy.

The form of the ancillary equation can take one of a number of forms:

a) So-called "exponential" form (type = TYPE_EXPONENTIAL) that has a form like

\[ y = y_c\exp\left(\frac{T_c}{T}\sum(n_i \theta^{t_i})\right) \]

or

\[ y = y_c\exp\left(\sum(n_i \theta^{t_i})\right) \]

b) A non-exponential form (type = TYPE_NOT_EXPONENTIAL) that has a form of

\[ y = y_c\left(1+\sum_i(n_i\theta^t_i)\right) \]

with

\[ \theta = \left(1-\frac{T}{T_c}\right) \]

which is conveniently equal to zero at the critical point

c) Rational polynomial form (type = TYPE_RATIONAL_POLYNOMIAL) that has a form of

\[ y = \frac{\sum_iA_iT^i}{\sum_iB_iT^i}\]

where i is an integer, and the coefficients are in increasing order in both numerator and denominator
