A Mixture Property is used to compute a property function that depends on the concentration of the species in a thermodynamic system. Some examples of the available property functions are density, enthalpy, heat capacity, and surface tension.
The Mixture Property Wizard contains the following steps:
The settings in this step corresponds to those for Select Properties in the
Species Property Wizard. Click the
Next button (
) to proceed to the next step.
First select the Species composition base unit to be used for function arguments. Select
Mole fraction or
Mass fraction.
Select the species to be included in the list. Use the Add All button (
) to add all species in the thermodynamic system. It is also possible to select a subset of the available species. In that case use the
Add Selected button (
) to add species. The
Selected species table is updated as you add species.
Click the Next button (
) to proceed to the next step in the wizard.
Selecting a desired Mixture Property node to display its settings window.
When creating mixture properties, the resulting functions are collected under the Mixture node. You can create new functions from an existing
Mixture node. Right-click the node and select
Mixture Property from the context menu to start the
Mixture Property Wizard.
