Project description

ASCEND's thermophysical property database is presently available in files written using ASCEND syntax. This data is open and new data can added without any requirement of recompilation.But browsing data in difficult in this form. This Project aims at migrating present database in .a4l file to *.db format. SQLite can be employed for this database migration. Also it would be necessary to have certain interface to load database from an ASCEND model. After successful migration, tests are needed to formulated and carried out to make sure that the property formulations worked as expected.

Tasks/Deliverables

1)As of now to equate fugacities of liquid phase and gas phase for saturation boundaries.

2)Migrating database will be done in later phase

work done

Week 1

1)Added 15 components (ref. Lemmon's Short fundamental Equations of state for 20 industrial fluids) to FPROPS database (workdone along with Ankit)

2)Tested code with test data for single point provided in Lemmon at.el

Week 2

1)Added test data to Sulfur dioxide from NIST web book and perry's correlation for ideal gas heat capacity. Results were acceptable to tolerances set in Lemmon's paper
