T_MELTING

T_MELTING

T_Melting [C, K, F, R, k] returns the melting temperature of a specified pure substance at the specified pressure. The units and return value of this function depend on the settings in the Unit System dialog. This function accepts only one argument, in addition to the fluid name, and that is the pressure. The P= must precede the value, variable, or expression providing the pressure. The pressure must be provided in the units specified in the Unit Information dialog. The fluid may be a fluid name or a string variable.

Example:

$UnitSystem SI K MPa

R$='ice'

P=20 [MPa]

T_m=t_melting(R$,P=P)

{Solution:

T_m=271.6 [K]

}

This function is implemented for selected pure fluids. Clicking T_melting in the list of Thermophysical properties in the Function Information dialog will identify the fluids that provide this capability.
