📈 Property Curves vs. Temperature
Interpolation Model:
Calculated using high-precision linear spline interpolation over tabulated database data points sourced from Incropera & DeWitt (Appendix A) and Cengel.
Expansion Coefficient:
• Gas: $\beta = 1/T_K$ (ideal gas law)
• Liquid: numerical derivative $\beta = - \frac{1}{\rho}\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial T}$
