vanderwaals(target, pressure='pore.pressure', temperature='pore.temperature', critical_pressure='pore.critical_pressure', critical_temperature='pore.critical_temperature')[source]#

Uses Van der Waals equation of state to calculate the density of a real gas

Parameters

  • target (OpenPNM Base object) – Object with which this model is associated. This controls the length of the calculated array, and also provides access to other necessary properties.

  • temperature (str) – Name of the dictionary key on target where the array containing temperature values is stored

  • pressure (str) – Name of the dictionary key on target where the array containing pressure values is stored

  • critical_pressure (str) – The dictionary key containing the critical pressure values in Pascals (Pa)

  • critical_temperature (str) – The dictionary key containing the critical temperature values in Kelvin (K)

Returns

value – A numpy ndarray containing molar density values [mol/m3]

Return type

ndarray
