Variables

This section is currently under construction!

To Do: Once the first IJHMT paper is submitted, we can fill out this section.

Some the variables are described here…

Table: Variables
Variable Unit Description
Film Properties
\(c_{pm}\) J/kg humid air K Mixture Specific Heat per Unit Humid Air
Liquid Water Properties
\(h_{\text{fg},s}\) J/kg Latent Heat of Vaporization

Film Properties

Mixture Specific Heat per Unit Humid Air, \(c_{pm}\) : the variable \(c_{pm}\) represents the water-vapor/dry-air mixture specific heat per unit humid air.

>>> film_state = dict(P=101325, T=295, x1=0.01)
1018.0

Liquid Water Properties

Latent Heat of Vaporization, \(h_{\text{fg},s}\) : the variable \(h_{\text{fg},s}\) represents the latent heat of vaporization at \(T = T_s\), wehre \(T_s\) is the surface temperature.

>>> import chamber.props as props
>>> props.hfgs(273.15)
2500938
>>> props.hfgs(290)
2460974
>>> props.hfgs(300)
2437289
