pyskyfire.skycea.coolant_transport.TransportProperties¶

class pyskyfire.skycea.coolant_transport.TransportProperties(Pr, mu, k, cp=None, rho=None, gamma_coolant=None)¶

Container for transport-property models (constants or callables).

This class stores transport properties that can be either constant scalars or callables of temperature and pressure in the order (T [K], p [Pa]). It is suitable for walls, coolants, or generic working fluids. When gamma_coolant is supplied, the instance is treated as a compressible coolant.

Parameters:

Prfloat or callable(): Prandtl number [-] or a function Pr(T, p) -> float.
mufloat or callable(): Dynamic (absolute) viscosity [Pa·s] or a function mu(T, p) -> float.
kfloat or callable(): Thermal conductivity [W/(m·K)] or a function k(T, p) -> float.
cpfloat or callable(), optional: Isobaric specific heat [J/(kg·K)] or cp(T, p) -> float. Required when this object represents a coolant.
rhofloat or callable(), optional: Density [kg/m³] or rho(T, p) -> float. Required when this object represents a coolant.
gamma_coolantfloat or callable(), optional: Ratio of specific heats γ = cp/cv [-] or gamma(T, p) -> float. If provided, the object is assumed to represent a compressible coolant.

Attributes:

compressible_coolantbool: Whether the instance represents a compressible coolant (gamma_coolant was provided).
_Pr, _mu, _k, _cp, _rho, _gamma_coolantAny: Backing values/callables as provided.
