NAliquid

 

The procedure NAliquid provides transport properties of saturated sodium liquid.

 

Call NAliquid(T: rho_e, k, sigma, mu)

 

Inputs:

T: Temperature 

 

Outputs:

rho_e: electrical resistivity

k: thermal conductivity

sigma: surface tension

mu: viscosity

 

Note that the procedure operates in whatever unit system EES is set to.  The properties come from the NAPROP procedure listed in Sodium-NaK Engineering Handbook, Volume 1.

 

Example:

 

$UnitSystem SI Mass kJ C kPa

T = 1200 [C]

Call NAliquid(T: rho_e, k, sigma, mu)

 

{Solution: rho_e = 3.359e-9 [ohm-m], k = 33.00 [W/m-K], sigma = 0.0814 [N/m], mu = 0.0001185 [Pa-s]}
