Gas medium combined with incompressible medium. Only the parameters to PartialMedium and selection of SingleGases and Incompressible are incomplete.
Observe that this implementation only works for Incompressible with one substance .
It is assumed that the gas and the liquid do not interact. This is a simplification since many substances mix , e. g. water and air where there is air molecules mixed into the liquid water and water steam mixed in the air.
To calculate the media properties a linear interpolation based on the mass-fractions between the gas and liquid is performed. Depending on the chosen property this may be more or less meaningful. Whenever possible,
one shall therefore use the properties of gas and liquid directly. Compare e.g. with a typical refrigerant, where many of the properties are only defined in the one-phase regions.
The intended use for this media is in systems where the properties of the mix of the media is not very important to get absolutely correct, but where both of the substances of the mix can occur at any physical location
in the system, but then mostly in pure or nearly pure form.
