volumeexpansioncoefficient

pychemengg.physicalproperties.waterliquidproperties.volumeexpansioncoefficient(T=None)

Provides volume expansion coefficient of liquid water at a temperature T

Parameters

Tint or float

Temperature in ‘Celsius’ at which volume expansion coefficient is required.

Returns

Volume expansion coefficientint or float

Volume expansion coefficient (1/K) at temperature T.

Notes

Look up table adapted from ref [1].

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