Configure an equation-based Fluid Type

These Fluid Types use one of the following Thermo Types:

• FlareGas

• IdealGas

• IncompressibleLiquid

They use internal equations to calculate their thermodynamic properties and do not need any external code or software to perform calculations.

Configure an equation-based Fluid Type

1. Open the Fluid Editor for the Fluid Type.

   Expand the Starting Values section and enter the Initial value, Minimum value, and Maximum value for the Pressure and Temperature.

   

2. Expand the Parameters section and enter the values for your fluid.

   The default value for FlareGas fluids is a CpCv value of 1.4.

   

   The default values for IdealGas fluids are the properties for air.

   

   The default values for IncompressibleLiquid fluids are the properties for water.
