Partial medium properties (base package of all media packages)
Information
PartialMedium is a package and contains all declarations for
a medium. This means that constants, models, and functions
are defined that every medium is supposed to support
(some of them are optional). A medium package
inherits from PartialMedium and provides the
equations for the medium. The details of this package
are described in
Modelica.Media.UsersGuide.
Extends from Modelica.Media.Interfaces.Types (Types to be used in fluid models), Modelica.Icons.MaterialPropertiesPackage (Icon for package containing property classes).

Base properties (p, d, T, h, u, R, MM and, if applicable, X and Xi) of a medium
Information
Model BaseProperties is a model within package PartialMedium
and contains the declarations of the minimum number of
variables that every medium model is supposed to support.
A specific medium inherits from model BaseProperties and provides
the equations for the basic properties.
The BaseProperties model contains the following 7+nXi variables
(nXi is the number of independent mass fractions defined in package
PartialMedium):
| Variable |
Unit |
Description |
| T |
K |
temperature |
| p |
Pa |
absolute pressure |
| d |
kg/m3 |
density |
| h |
J/kg |

| u |

specific internal energy |
| Xi[nXi] |
kg/kg |

| R |

gas constant |
| M |

molar mass |
In order to implement an actual medium model, one can extend from this
base model and add 5 equations that provide relations among
these variables. Equations will also have to be added in order to
set all the variables within the ThermodynamicState record state.
If standardOrderComponents=true, the full composition vector X[nX]
is determined by the equations contained in this base class, depending
on the independent mass fraction vector Xi[nXi].
Additional 2 + nXi equations will have to be provided
when using the BaseProperties model, in order to fully specify the
thermodynamic conditions. The input connector qualifier applied to
p, h, and nXi indirectly declares the number of missing equations,
permitting advanced equation balance checking by Modelica tools.
Please note that this doesn't mean that the additional equations
should be connection equations, nor that exactly those variables
should be supplied, in order to complete the model.
For further information, see the Modelica.Media User's guide, and
Section 4.7 (Balanced Models) of the Modelica 3.0 specification.

Return thermodynamic state so that it smoothly approximates: if x > 0 then state_a else state_b
Information
This function is used to approximate the equation
state = if x > 0 then state_a else state_b;
by a smooth characteristic, so that the expression is continuous and differentiable:
state := smooth(1, if x > x_small then state_a else
if x < -x_small then state_b else f(state_a, state_b));
This is performed by applying function Media.Common.smoothStep(..)
on every element of the thermodynamic state record.
If mass fractions X[:] are approximated with this function then this can be performed
for all nX mass fractions, instead of applying it for nX-1 mass fractions and computing
the last one by the mass fraction constraint sum(X)=1. The reason is that the approximating function has the
property that sum(state.X) = 1, provided sum(state_a.X) = sum(state_b.X) = 1.
This can be shown by evaluating the approximating function in the abs(x) < x_small
region (otherwise state.X is either state_a.X or state_b.X):
X[1] = smoothStep(x, X_a[1] , X_b[1] , x_small);
X[2] = smoothStep(x, X_a[2] , X_b[2] , x_small);
...
X[nX] = smoothStep(x, X_a[nX], X_b[nX], x_small);
or
X[1] = c*(X_a[1] - X_b[1]) + (X_a[1] + X_b[1])/2
X[2] = c*(X_a[2] - X_b[2]) + (X_a[2] + X_b[2])/2;
...
X[nX] = c*(X_a[nX] - X_b[nX]) + (X_a[nX] + X_b[nX])/2;
c = (x/x_small)*((x/x_small)^2 - 3)/4
Summing all mass fractions together results in
sum(X) = c*(sum(X_a) - sum(X_b)) + (sum(X_a) + sum(X_b))/2
= c*(1 - 1) + (1 + 1)/2
= 1
