pcsaft.dielc_water

pcsaft.dielc_water()

Return the dielectric constant of water at the given temperature.

This equation was fit to values given in the reference. For temperatures from 263.15 to 368.15 K values at 1 bar were used. For temperatures from 368.15 to 443.15 K values at 10 bar were used. Below 263.15 K and above 443.15 K an error is raised.

Parameters:t (float) – Temperature (K)
Returns:dielc – Dielectric constant of water
Return type:float
