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.

Member Function Documentation

◆ density_T()

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

static

Simple calculation of water density at atmospheric pressure.

Valid up to boiling point.

This formulation has no dependence on the pressure and shouldn't be used where accuracy is needed.

Parameters

T	temperature in kelvin
P	Pressure in pascal
ifunc	changes what's returned

Returns

value returned depends on ifunc value:

ifunc = 0 Returns the density in kg/m^3
ifunc = 1 returns the derivative of the density wrt T.
ifunc = 2 returns the 2nd derivative of the density wrt T
ifunc = 3 returns the derivative of the density wrt P.

Verification: Agrees with the CRC values (6-10) for up to 4 sig digits.

units = returns density in kg m-3.

Definition at line 85 of file WaterProps.cpp.

◆ relEpsilon()

doublereal relEpsilon	(	doublereal	T,
		doublereal	P_pascal,
		int	ifunc = `0`
	)

Bradley-Pitzer equation for the dielectric constant of water as a function of temperature and pressure.

Returns the dimensionless relative dielectric constant and its derivatives.

Range of validity: 0 to 350C, 0 to 1 kbar pressure

Parameters

T	temperature (kelvin)
P_pascal	pressure in pascal
ifunc	changes what's returned from the function

Returns

Depends on the value of ifunc:

ifunc = 0 return value
ifunc = 1 return temperature derivative
ifunc = 2 return temperature second derivative
ifunc = 3 return pressure first derivative

Validation: Numerical experiments indicate that this function agrees with the Archer and Wang data in the CRC p. 6-10 to all 4 significant digits shown (0 to 100C).

value at 25C and 1 atm, relEps = 78.38

Definition at line 133 of file WaterProps.cpp.

◆ ADebye()

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

T	Temperature (kelvin)
P	pressure (pascal)
ifunc	Changes what's returned from the routine

Returns

a double 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)

◆ viscosityWater()

doublereal viscosityWater ( ) const

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

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.
