D.3. Temperature-Dependent Properties

In addition to the single-temperature properties listed in Table 3: Fuel library species single-temperature properties , the Fuel Library contains a number of temperature-dependent properties for the liquid-fuel components. These properties are provided using correlations to temperature and coefficients that correspond to those correlations. In this section, the nature of the input for each temperature-dependent property is described. The correlations and coefficients used in the Ansys Forte Fuel Library originate from the DIPPR Database [8]. The fits are in Kelvin; the reference temperature for these values is 298 K. In Ansys Forte, properties are not valid beyond the specified limit or critical temperature. Out-of-bounds temperatures are not an issue because the components vaporize at those temperatures so there is no need to evaluate the properties at such high temperatures.

For the fuel species listed in Table 1: Fuel species, the coefficients are included in the Fuel Library file within the installation data directory.
