# Thermodynamic properties of heat carrier fluids

class `PythonModel.fluids.``ConstantPropertyWater`

  Bases: `object`

  Object for the evaluation of thermal properties of heat transfer fluid Water.

  `get_Density`(**kwargs)

    Returns the density of water.

    Returns: | Density of water at 20 C (kg/m3)

    Usage: Type

          >>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
          >>> '%.2f' % flu.get_Density()
          '998.21'

  `get_SpecificIsobaricHeatCapacity`(**kwargs)

    Returns the specific isobaric heat capacity of water.

    Returns: | Specific isobaric heat capacity of water at 20 C (J/(kg.K))

    Usage: Type

          >>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
          >>> '%.2f' % flu.get_SpecificIsobaricHeatCapacity()
          '4184.05'

  `get_SpecificVolume`(**kwargs)

    Returns the specific volume of water.

    Returns: | Specific volume of water at 20 C (m3/kg)

    Usage: Type

          >>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
          >>> '%.8f' % flu.get_SpecificVolume()
          '0.00100180'

  `modelicaModelPath`()

    Returns the full path to the water model in the AixLib library.

    Returns: | Full path to the water model in the AixLib library.

    Note

    The minimum temperature is set to -50 C to avoid the Modelica model from failing.

    Usage: Type

          >>> flu = ConstantPropertyWater()
          >>> flu.modelicaModelPath()
          'Modelica.Media.Water.ConstantPropertyLiquidWater(T_min=223.15)'
