Prandtl number

To process this page used the WaterSteamPro function "wspPRANDTLEPS": prandtl number [-] as function of pressure p [Pa], specific entropy s [J/(kg·K)].

The range of the validity is within that described in IF-97 and in formulations for the properties included in the equation to calculate sought quantity (see function wspPRANDTLEPT, wspTHERMCONDRT, wspDYNVISRT). The function wspWATERSTATEAREAPS is used to determine the IF-97 region. Then the necessary function (wspTxPS) is used. Finally, the necessary function (wspPRANDTLEPT or wspPRANDLTESTX) is called. Since at some stages the function use iterations, to speed up calculations you may disable precision mode (functions wspGETTOLERANCEMODE and wspSETTOLERANCEMODE) or vary relative precision for internal iterations (functions wspGETTOLERANCE and wspSETTOLERANCE).
