getAggregationStateName

getAggregationStateName obtains a string identifying the aggregation state of a given phase name. Can be used in conjunction with getFeedEquilibrium or getEquilibrium to check the phases returned in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Syntax

Arguments:

phaseName
String; name of the phase to check. Defined phases depend on the underlying thermodynamic system.

Returns:

phaseType
String; identifier for the aggregation state. Options are 'vapor', 'liquid', 'solid' or 'unknown'.

Example

» getAggregationStateName('liquid1')

ans =

liquid

» getAggregationState('liquid2')

Evaluation error: Error using ==> getaggregationstate
Unknown phase name: liquid2
