thermaldiffusivity

pychemengg.physicalproperties.airproperties.thermaldiffusivity(T=None)

Provides thermal diffusivity of air at a temperature T.

Parameters

Tint or float

Temperature in ‘Celsius’ at which thermal diffusivity is required.

Returns

Thermal diffusivity: int or float

Thermal diffusivity (m2/s2) at temperature T.

Notes

Look up table adapted from ref [1].

Linear interpolation is performed when the temperature lies between tabulated entries.
