METHODS

Calculation of AGA-8 equation of state

long int calculateAGA8(); calculates mole average, molar density, density and compression and returns long int error status

ERROR STATUS

Error status bits are cleared or set upon the completion of long int calculateAGA8() method as follows

Bit 0 =1 (0001H)

There exist at least one mole fraction < 0.

Bit 1 =1 (0002H)

The total sum of mole fractions <0.98 or >1.02

Bit 2 =1 (0004H)

The total sum of mole fractions is not exactly equal to 1. This bit denotes only the warning that the fractions have been normalized to give the total sum of mole fractions equal to 1. If only bit 2 was set during the calculation the results are valid.

Bit 3 =1 (0008H)

The mole fraction of Nitrogen > 0.5.

Bit 4 =1 (0010H)

The mole fraction of Carbon Dioxide >0.5.

Bit 5 =1 (0020H)

The mole fraction of Methane <0.5 or >1.0.

Bit 6 =1 (0040H)

The mole fraction of Ethane > 0.2.

Bit 7 =1 (0080H)

The mole fraction of propane > 0.05.

Bit 8 =1 (0100H)

The mole fraction of Butanes (n-Butane + i-Butane) >0.03.

Bit 9 =1 (0200H)

The mole fraction of Pentanes (n-pentane + i-Pentane) >0.02.

Bit 10 =1 (0400H)

The mole fraction of Hexanes + heavier hydrocarbons (n-Hexane + n-Heptane + n-Octane + n-Nonane + n-Decane) >0.01.

Bit 11 =1 (0800H)

The mole fraction of (Water + Vapour + Hydrogen Sulfide + Hydrogen + Carbon Monoxide + Oxigen + Helium + Argon) >0.01.

Bit 12 =1 (1000H)

The pressure < 0.1 Pa or Pressure > 138000000 Pa.

Bit 13 =1 (2000H)

The temperature < -128 °C or Temperature > 205 °C.

Bit 14,...

All higher bits are unused.
