BrineProp is a modelica package that calculates the thermodynamic properties of a specified brine, i.e., an aqueous solution of salts (NaCl,KCl,CaCl2) and gases (CO2,N2,CH4,H2), with a potential gas phase, including degassing/evaporation and solution/condensation.
An Excel version is available in the download section. Its VBA code can also be found in /VBA.

Works in Dymola 2013/2014 FD01 with MSL 3.2 (changes needed, see "Installation" below)
-
Works in OpenModelica 1.9.1Beta2 and JModelica 1.14 via FMU.
-
Works partly in OpenModelica, for details see Library documentation (in code).
Download, unzip and open BrineProp/package.mo
For use with MSL 3.2 you need to make changes marked with "MSL 3.2.1" in PartialMixtureTwoPhaseMedium.
Run models from BrineProp.Examples.*.
