Fluid data

This document contains the variable classes for the fluid data.

class GHEtool.VariableClasses.FluidData.FluidData(mfr: Optional[float] = None, k_f: Optional[float] = None, rho: Optional[float] = None, Cp: Optional[float] = None, mu: Optional[float] = None)

Bases: BaseClass

Contains information regarding the fluid data of the borefield.

Parameters
mfrfloat

Mass flow rate per borehole [kg/s]

k_ffloat

Thermal Conductivity of the fluid [W/mK]

rhofloat

Density of the fluid [kg/m3]

Cpfloat

Thermal capacity of the fluid [J/kgK]

mufloat

Dynamic viscosity of the fluid [Pa/s]

import_fluid_from_pygfunction(fluid_object: Fluid) None

This function loads a fluid object from pygfunction and imports it into GHEtool. Note that this object does not contain the mass flow rate!

Parameters
fluid_objectFluid object from pygfunction
Returns
None
set_mass_flow_rate(mfr: float) None

This function sets the mass flow rate per borehole.

Parameters
mfrfluid

Mass flow rate per borehole [kg/s]

Returns
None
