Hello
I want the polynomial function of air density temperature in kelvin to use it in ansys fluent to model displacement ventilation that is based on natural convection
 
curve fit to the data. BTW, what is "air density temperature" ? "air density" I understand (but not in degrees Kelvin) "air temperature" in degrees kelvin makes sense. And of course degrees kelvin is the same as degrees celsius with a constant term added.

What's wrong with the ideal gas equation?

PV = nRT

and

[ρ] = P(MW)/RT.

IMHO, flow calculations are not so exact to justify the complexity of a polynomial fit to air density.

Good Luck,
Latexman

 
doesn't work well with the atmosphere, as density changes with altitude.

Just a nitnoid here; the SI unit for absolute temperature is the kelvin, no degrees. Degrees Celsius is the relative temperature unit.

Kelvin - earned the capital K.
 
yeah, I read the question from my perspective. But I don't think he means that. But rather changes at sealevel.

So Latexman, or SWC
