The domain declaration contains the following variables and parameters:

Across variable p (absolute pressure), in MPa
Through variable mdot (mass flow rate), in kg/s
Across variable T (temperature), in K
Through variable Phi (energy flow rate), in kW
Parameter T_min, defining the minimum allowable temperature
Parameter T_max, defining the maximum allowable temperature
Parameter p_min, defining the minimum allowable pressure
Parameter p_max, defining the maximum allowable pressure
Parameter p_atm, defining the atmospheric pressure

Parameter gas_spec provides a choice of three gas models:

1 — Perfect (default)
2 — Semiperfect
3 — Real

In the Foundation Gas library, the Gas Properties (G) block serves as the source for domain parameter values, including the selection of the gas model. For more information on propagation of domain parameters, see Working with Domain Parameters.

The domain declaration also contains sets of parameters that define gas properties for each gas model.

Properties for semiperfect and real gas are in the form of lookup table data. These parameter declarations propagate to the components connected to the Gas domain, and therefore you can use them in the tablelookup function in the component equations.

To refer to this domain in your custom component declarations, use the following syntax:

foundation.gas.gas
