Bases:
thermo.utils.tp_dependent_property.TPDependentProperty
Class for dealing with liquid thermal conductivity as a function of temperature and pressure.
For low-pressure (at 1 atm while under the vapor pressure; along the saturation line otherwise) liquids, there is one source of tabular information, one polynomial-based method, 7 corresponding-states estimators, and the external library CoolProp.
For high-pressure liquids (also, <1 atm liquids), there are two corresponding-states estimator, and the external library CoolProp.

Method to check the validity of a temperature-dependent low-pressure method. For CSP methods, the models BAHADORI_L, LAKSHMI_PRASAD, and SHEFFY_JOHNSON are considered valid for all temperatures. For methods GHARAGHEIZI_L, NICOLA, and NICOLA_ORIGINAL, the methods are considered valid up to 1.5Tc and down to 0 K. Method SATO_RIEDEL does not work above the critical point, so it is valid from 0 K to the critical point.
