Fluidika

Fluidika is a C++17 library for calculation of thermodynamic and electrostatic properties of pure fluids. This library is used in, and is part of, the Reaktoro Project.

It currently implements the following equations of state for thermodynamic properties of water:

  • Haar-Gallagher-Kell (1984) (IAPWS Formulation 1984)
  • Wagner and Pruss (2002) (IAPWS-95 Formulation)

Equations of state for electrostatic properties of water include:

  • Helgeson and Kirkham (1974);
  • Uematsu and Franck (1980); and
  • Johnson and Norton (1991)

Overview

Below is an example in which Fluidika is used to compute thermodynamic properties of water using the Wagner and Pruss (2002) equation of state.

// C++ includes
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Fluidika includes
#include <Fluidika/Fluidika.hpp>
using namespace Fluidika;

int main()
{
    // Calculate the thermodynamic properties of water at 300 K and 1 MPa (=1e6 Pa)
    WaterThermoProps props = waterThermoPropsWagnerPruss(300.0, 1.0e6);

    cout << "The temperature of water (in units of K)" << endl;
    cout << props.temperature << endl;

    cout << "The specific volume of water (in units of m3/kg)" << endl;
    cout << props.volume << endl;

    cout << "The specific entropy of water (in units of J/(kg*K))" << endl;
    cout << props.entropy << endl;

    cout << "The specific Helmholtz free energy of water (in units of J/kg)" << endl;
    cout << props.helmholtz << endl;

    cout << "The specific internal energy of water (in units of J/kg)" << endl;
    cout << props.internal_energy << endl;

    cout << "The specific enthalpy of water (in units of J/kg)" << endl;
    cout << props.enthalpy << endl;

    cout << "The specific Gibbs free energy of water (in units of J/kg)" << endl;
    cout << props.gibbs << endl;

    cout << "The specific isochoric heat capacity of water (in units of J/(kg*K))" << endl;
    cout << props.cv << endl;

    cout << "The specific isobaric heat capacity of water (in units of J/(kg*K))" << endl;
    cout << props.cp << endl;

    cout << "The specific density of water (in units of kg/m3)" << endl;
    cout << props.density << endl;

    cout << "The first-order partial derivative of density with respect to temperature (in units of (kg/m3)/K)" << endl;
    cout << props.densityT << endl;

    cout << "The first-order partial derivative of density with respect to pressure (in units of (kg/m3)/Pa)" << endl;
    cout << props.densityP << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of density with respect to temperature (in units of (kg/m3)/(K*K))" << endl;
    cout << props.densityTT << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of density with respect to temperature and pressure (in units of (kg/m3)/(K*Pa))" << endl;
    cout << props.densityTP << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of density with respect to pressure (in units of (kg/m3)/(Pa*Pa))" << endl;
    cout << props.densityPP << endl;

    cout << "The pressure of water (in units of Pa)" << endl;
    cout << props.pressure << endl;

    cout << "The first-order partial derivative of pressure with respect to temperature (in units of Pa/K)" << endl;
    cout << props.pressureT << endl;

    cout << "The first-order partial derivative of pressure with respect to density (in units of Pa/(kg/m3))" << endl;
    cout << props.pressureD << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of pressure with respect to temperature (in units of Pa/(K*K))" << endl;
    cout << props.pressureTT << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of pressure with respect to temperature and density (in units of Pa/(K*kg/m3))" << endl;
    cout << props.pressureTD << endl;

    cout << "The second-order partial derivative of pressure with respect to density (in units of Pa/((kg/m3)*(kg/m3)))" << endl;
    cout << props.pressureDD << endl;

    cout << "The speed of sound (in m/s)" << endl;
    cout << props.speed_of_sound << endl;
}

Installation

Installation of Fluidika using CMake is greatly simplified if conda is available in your system. We recommend you to install a Python 3.x (64-bit) installer of Miniconda to give you access to the conda application.

Once you have installed conda, append the conda-forge channel so that we can have access to a rich collection of packages in addition to the default channel:

conda config --append channels conda-forge

The next step is to install conda-devenv to create a conda development environment containing all required library dependencies of Fluidika.

conda install conda-devenv

After this, you should execute:

conda activate fluidika

to activate the created conda environment.

It's now time to download Fluidika from GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/reaktoro/fluidika.git

and then start the build & install task by executing:

cmake -P install

This will install Fluidika header, library, and cmake configuration files in your created conda environment, and not in your system. If you wish to install Fluidika in a different location, use:

cmake -DPREFIX=/home/user/other -P install
