Summary

Exponential vapor cooling energy flux

Description

Flux is given by:

F = P_a L \alpha \exp\left(\frac{L}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_{boil}}-\frac{1}{T}\right)\right) \sqrt{\frac{1}{2 \pi R T}}

where R is the specific gas constant (\bar{R}/MW). For T less than T_L, zero flux is applied. For T between T_L and T_H, a 3rd order smoothing polynomial is used to provide continuity of values and derivatives between 0 and the expression given above. For T greater than T_H, the above expression is used. If not provided, T_L and T_H are set to 10% below and above T_{Boil}, respectively.
