Interface ThermodynamicState

All Known Implementing Classes:
IdealGas
public interface ThermodynamicState
Interface representing the thermodynamic state of a system.

Defines standard state variables with type-safe Quantity types:

  • $T$: Temperature (K)
  • $P$: Pressure (Pa)
  • $V$: Volume (m³)
  • $S$: Entropy (J/K)
Also provides an Equation of State (EOS) mechanism.
