polykin.properties.pvt_polymer¤

This module implements methods to evaluate the PVT behavior of pure polymers.

HartmannHaque ¤

Hartmann-Haque equation of state for the specific volume of a polymer.

This EoS implements the following implicit PVT dependence:

\[ \tilde{P}\tilde{V}^5=\tilde{T}^{3/2}-\ln{\tilde{V}} \]

where \(\tilde{V}=V/V^*\), \(\tilde{P}=P/P^*\) and \(\tilde{T}=T/T^*\) are, respectively, the reduced volume, reduced pressure and reduced temperature. \(V^*\), \(P^*\) and \(T^*\) are reference quantities that are polymer dependent.
