liquid air @ AMB

Post by ed@mo-ed.com »

PR says air at amb conditions is a liquid!, SRK is ok:
.21 mol% o2
.79 N2
1 bar
20 C

It is super critical (so neither a liquid nor a vapor), and the decision to call it a liquid is rather unfortunate. I will check why this is. As a result of this, the density routine that is invoked is not that of the equation of state (which is the density routine for the vapor phase), but the default selected for the liquid phase, which is COSTALD, which is of course completely off.

Thanks for the fix,

I wouldn't call air at ambient conditions supercritical though; it is above the critical critcal T of -140C but well below critical p of 38 bar thus still a gas.

It is indeed below the critical pressure.
