Gas

class Gas(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Data

Base class for all gas implementations in RCAIDE. Provides fundamental gas properties and composition tracking.

tag

Identifier for the gas type (‘gas’ by default)

Type:

str

molecular_mass

Molecular mass of the gas in kg/kmol

Type:

float

gas_specific_constant

Specific gas constant in m²/s²-K

Type:

float

composition

Chemical composition container for tracking gas components

• gasfloat

  Default mass fraction of primary gas component (1.0 by default)

Type:

Data

Notes

This class serves as the parent class for all specific gas implementations. The default values represent a generic gas and should be overridden by child classes with specific gas properties.

Definitions

‘Molecular Mass’

The mass of one mole of the gas molecules in kg/kmol

‘Specific Gas Constant’

The individual gas constant for the specific gas, calculated as the universal gas constant divided by the molecular mass

‘Mass Fraction’

The ratio of the mass of a component to the total mass of the gas mixture
