Auxiliary subroutines

Auxiliary subroutines for handling coordinate transformation between local and global systems, quadrature, convergence checking and updating of physical parameters in non-linear calculations. 

FIG. 2-7 Enthalpy-concentration diagram for aqueous ammonia. From Thermodynamic and Physical Properties NH3-H20, Int Inst. Refrigeration, Paris, France, 1994 (88 pp.). Reproduced by permission. In order to determine equilibrium compositions, draw a vertical from any liquid composition on any boiling line (the lowest plots) to intersect the appropriate auxiliary curve (the intermediate curves). A horizontal then drawn from this point to the appropriate dew line (the upper curves) will establish the vapor composition. The Int. Inst. Refrigeration publication also gives extensive P-v-xtah es from —50 to 316°C. Other sources include Park, Y. M. and Sonntag, R. E., ASHRAE Trans., 96,1 (1990) 150-159 x, h, s, tables, 360 to 640 K) Ibrahim, O. M. and S. A. Klein, ASH E Trans., 99, 1 (1993) 1495-1502 (Eqs., 0.2 to 110 bar, 293 to 413 K) Smolen, T. M., D. B. Manley, et al.,/. Chem. Eng. Data, 36 (1991) 202-208 p-x correlation, 0.9 to 450 psia, 293-413 K)i Ruiter, J. P, 7nf. J. R rig., 13 (1990) 223-236 gives ten subroutines for computer calculations. 

The other PRISM subroutines whose names begin with Do (see Section 4.6) operate very similarly to DoMDl. Each is handed the W array, a driver and, if necessary, some auxiliary arrays such as R in DoMDl and then proceeds to generate columns of W by combining columns with one another and, possibly, with the auxiliary arrays.
