Detailed Description

The WaterProps class is used to house several approximation routines for properties of water.

The class is also a wrapper around the WaterPropsIAPWS class which provides the calculations for the equation of state properties for water.

In particular, this class house routine for the calculation of the dielectric constant of water

Most if not all of the member functions are static.

doublereal ADebye ( doublereal  T,
doublereal  P,
int  ifunc 
)

ADebye calculates the value of A_Debye as a function of temperature and pressure according to relations that take into account the temperature and pressure dependence of the water density and dielectric constant.

The A_Debye expression appears on the top of the ln actCoeff term in the general Debye-Huckel expression It depends on temperature and pressure. And, therefore, most be recalculated whenever T or P changes. The units returned by this expression are sqrt(kg/gmol).

\[ A_{Debye} = \frac{1}{8 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{2 N_{Avog} \rho_w}{1000}} {\left(\frac{e^2}{\epsilon k_{boltz} T}\right)}^{\frac{3}{2}} \]

Nominal value at 25C and 1atm = 1.172576 sqrt(kg/gmol).

         Based on:
             epsilon/epsilon_0 = 78.54 (water at 25C)
             T = 298.15 K
             B_Debye = 3.28640E9 sqrt(kg/gmol)/m
Parameters
TTemperature (kelvin)
Ppressure (pascal)
ifuncChanges what's returned from the routine:
  • ifunc = 0 return value
  • ifunc = 1 return temperature derivative
  • ifunc = 2 return temperature second derivative
  • ifunc = 3 return pressure first derivative
Returns
Returns a single doublereal whose meaning depends on ifunc:
  • ifunc = 0 return value
  • ifunc = 1 return temperature derivative
  • ifunc = 2 return temperature second derivative
  • ifunc = 3 return pressure first derivative
Verification:

With the epsRelWater value from the Bradley-Pitzer relation, and the water density from the density_IAPWS() function, The A_Debye computed with this function agrees with the Pitzer table p. 99 to 4 significant digits at 25C. and 20C. (Aphi = ADebye/3)

doublereal viscosityWater ( ) const

Returns the viscosity of water at the current conditions (kg/m/s)

This function calculates the value of the viscosity of pure water at the current T and P.

The formulation is accurate for all temperatures and pressures, for steam and for water, even near the critical point. Pressures above 500 MPa and temperature above 900 C are suspect.
