CFX – AIR Real Gas – Library

Farbod · July 10, 2015, 15:20

I want to Select material , As AIR Real Gas in CFX .
I searched the Library (PENG ROBINSON . redlich kwong ) , for the Air Real Gas Material , but I couldn’t find that . (I have found many other materials , but not air , which is strange !)

By Selecting The Equation of state as real gas , they are some properties of air which are blank like (Cp , Critical Properties ) . I know I can write the properties by myself .
But I was wondering , why CFX doesn’t provide the properties of this very common material ,Air , in the library .

I appreciate your help with that ,

I suspect this is because air is a mixture and therefore not a Peng Robinson material. Try using a multicomponent mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (and the trace stuff if you want super accuracy but are willing to add some more complexity)

Yes , Air can be modelled by Multicomponent .

But , CFX , provide the properties of Air , as Ideal Gas , but not the properties as the Real gas .

So , maybe it is not because of being mixture and there is somewhere inside that I cannot find that .

Well keep hunting then. I think my previous post explains exactly why you cannot find it.
