Notes

This class implements basic thermodynamic properties for carbon dioxide gas. All properties are for pure CO2 at standard conditions.

Definitions

‘Specific Gas Constant’

The individual gas constant for CO2, equal to the universal gas constant divided by the molecular mass of CO2

‘Molecular Mass’

The mass of one mole of CO2 molecules
