IMPORTANT: This section is meant for bug reporting only. For usage issues, please go to the Support Forums.

Heating water and nitrogen under presssure using CoolProp property package

To Reproduce

PLEASE ATTACH THE ZIPPED FLOWSHEET FILE and/or inform the steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. In my case, I had 300kg/hr water, 77kg/hr Nitrogen as input to a flow stream
  2. CoolProp property package
  3. System pressure set to 90bar
  4. Complete a sensitivity analysis, from 20 to 350Celcius

Expected behavior
A consistent change in vapour enthalpy, which is then used in the total system enthalpy

Observed behaviour has a nice consistent trend up to 200C, then a major discontinuity occurs.

Vapour mass flow is nice and consistent:

LIquid enthalpy shows consistent trend also:
