View thermophysical plots for the temperature-dependent properties of pure components

Thermophysical plots allow you to visualize the thermodynamic behavior of your pure component properties based on the current configuration of the property correlations in the Fluid Editor.

Any changes that you make to the component's correlation data are immediately visible in the thermophysical plot. This allows you to fine-tune your correlation data to match the behavior that you expect.

The thermophysical plot displays temperature-dependent property data both on a linear scale and a logarithmic scale.

View the thermophysical plot for a temperature-dependent property of pure components

1. Open the Fluid Editor for the Fluid Type that contains the pure components of interest.

2. Expand the Component Data section.

3. On the Temperature Dependent tab, in the list of properties, select the property of interest.

   

4. In the Plot column, select the checkbox for any components that you want to view the thermophysical plot for.

   Tip: Select the checkbox at the top of the Plot column to display the thermophysical plot for all the components in the Fluid Type.

   A new window appears with the thermophysical plot for all the selected components.

   By default, the window opens to the Normal Scale tab, which displays temperature-dependent property data on a linear scale.

   

5. (Optional) Select the Log Scale tab to view temperature-dependent property data on a logarithmic scale.

   

6. (Optional) Select or clear the Plot checkboxes for the different components while the window is open to add or remove components from the thermophysical plot.
