Buildings.Media.PerfectGases

Information

This package contains models of thermally perfect gases.

A medium is called thermally perfect if

• it is in thermodynamic equilibrium,
• it is chemically not reacting, and
• internal energy and enthalpy are functions of temperature only.

In addition, the gases in this package are calorically perfect, i.e., the specific heat capacities at constant pressure c_p and constant volume c_v are both constant (Bower 1998).

For dry and moist air media that also have a constant density, see Buildings.Media.GasesConstantDensity.
