sunpeek.components.fluids.Fluid

class sunpeek.components.fluids.Fluid(**kwargs)

Bases: Base

Stores basic information about fluids in SunPeek and a high level, and implements a high level abstract fluid interface for SunPeek.

Notes

• Provides get_density() and get_heat_capacity() accessors for all fluids, accepting scalar or vector pint Quantity

as temperature input. - Subclasses must implement _get_density() and _get_heat_capacity(). - Forms the base class for a joined table class hierarchy in the database, see https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/14/orm/inheritance.html the polymorphic discriminator column is model_type, this parameter is set automatically, do not alter by hand.

Methods

__init__(**kwargs)	A simple constructor that allows initialization from kwargs.
get_density(te)	Calculate density of fluid at given temperature and self.concentration :type te: :param te: Temperature for which density is evaluated.
get_heat_capacity(te)	Calculate heat capacity of fluid at given temperature and self.concentration :type te: :param te: Temperature for which heat cpaacity is evaluated.

get_density(te)

Calculate density of fluid at given temperature and self.concentration :type te: :param te: Temperature for which density is evaluated. :type te: pd.Series

Return type:

pd.Series

get_heat_capacity(te)

Calculate heat capacity of fluid at given temperature and self.concentration :type te: :param te: Temperature for which heat cpaacity is evaluated. :type te: pd.Series, scalar or vector

Return type:

pd.Series
