Abstract:A new object-oriented approach for designing general property calculation programs using different types of equations of state (EoS) is presented in this work. It helps to ease the programs' extensibility, reusability, and maintainability and, at the same time, minimize the code redundancy. The approach consists of two parts: (a) the total Helmholtz free energy function is separated into specific terms, based on physical meanings or mathematical expressions, independent of the properties of interest, and the s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
