Buildings.Media.GasesPTDecoupled.SimpleAir

Information

This medium model is identical to Modelica.Media.Air.SimpleAir, except the equation d = p/(R*T) has been replaced with d/dStp = p/pStp where pStd and dStp are constants for a reference temperature and density.

This new formulation often leads to smaller systems of nonlinear equations because pressure and temperature are decoupled, at the expense of accuracy.

As in Modelica.Media.Air.SimpleAir, the specific enthalpy h and specific internal energy u are only a function of temperature T and all other provided medium quantities are constant.
