NaClFluidProperties

Fluid properties for NaCl

NaCl fluid properties as a function of pressure (Pa) and temperature (K).

note

Only solid state (halite) properties are currently implemented to use in brine formulation

Properties for halite given by Driesner (2007), apart from thermal conductivity, which is calculated using the data of Urqhart and Bauer (2015). Critical values are taken from Anderko and Pitzer (1992).
