Mass density

Mass density



Symbol Definition Unit
P ref Reference pressure Pa
T refD Mass density reference temperature T refD °C
r ref Mass density at T refD and P ref kg/m3
a Mass density first order temperature coefficient at T refD and P ref K-1
b Mass density second order temperature coefficient at T refD and P ref K-2
Note: The reference pressure mentioned in the previous table is the one considered for defining the gas specific heat.
Note: For a given temperature, the gas density (kg/m3) changes with the pressure following the perfect gas law.

The mass density ρ computed at a pressure P is computed as below:
