Refrigerant model for R134a using a hybrid approach with explicit Horner formulas

Information

This package provides a refrigerant model for R134a using a hybrid approach developed by Sangi et al.. The hybrid approach is implemented in AixLib.Media.Refrigerants.Interfaces.PartialHybridTwoPhaseMediumFormula and the refrigerant model is implemented by complete the template AixLib.Media.Refrigerants.Interfaces.TemplateHybridTwoPhaseMediumFormula .

Assumptions and limitations

The implemented coefficients are fitted to external data by Engelpracht and are valid within the following range:

Parameter

Minimum Value

Maximum Value

Pressure (p) in bar

39.5

Temperature (T) in K

233.15

455.15

The reference point is defined as 200 kJ/kg and 1 kJ/kg/K, respectively, for enthalpy and entropy for the saturated liquid at 273.15 K.

Validation

The model is validated by comparing results obtained from the example model AixLib.Media.Refrigerants.Examples.RefrigerantProperties to external data (e.g. obtained from measurements or external media libraries).
