Buildings.Media.Specialized.Air.PerfectGas

Model for air as a perfect gas

Information

This package contains a thermally perfect model of moist air.

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, this medium model is calorically perfect, i.e., the specific heat capacities at constant pressure c_p and constant volume c_v are both constant (Bower 1998).

This medium uses the ideal gas law

ρ = p ⁄(R T),

where ρ is the density, p is the pressure, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature.

The enthalpy is computed using the convention that h=0 if T=0 °C and no water vapor is present.

Note that for typical building simulations, the media Buildings.Media.Air should be used as it leads generally to faster simulation.
