gasProp

This script calculates ideal gas properties for common flue gases at 1 bar pressure.

This script calculates ideal gas properties for common flue gases at 1 bar pressure.

All properties in these tables are calculated using FluidProp computer program. FluidProp uses properties mostly from the book Reynolds, W.C., Thermodynamic properties in S.I., Department of Mechanical Engineering - Stanford University.

Instructions:

If only one input is given, returns whole table for given gas.

If less or more than four inputs are given, returns error.

Else returns linearly interpolated/extrapolated value of given unit.

All properties are valid within 50 - 5000 K temperature range.

Options for gas:

N2, O2, CO2, H2O, air, H2, CO, SO2, CnH2n

Options for x:

T, cp, cv, h, s, rho

Options for v:

T, cp, cv, h, s, rho, R, M, p

Options for xq:

single number or a matrix

Examples:

Calculating air cp at 345 K:

cp = gasProp('air','T','cp',345)

Calculating CO2 s at 1000 and 1010 kJ/kg:

s = gasProp('CO2','h','s',[1000 1010])

Units:

M [kg/kmol]

R [J/(kg*K)]

T [K]

cp [kJ/(kg*K)]

cv [kJ/(kg*K)]

h [kJ/kg]

s [kJ/(kg*K)]

rho [kg/m^3]
