Physics explanations for common NeqSim results. USE WHEN: users ask 'why' about simulation results, when explaining unexpected behavior, or when adding educational context to notebooks and reports. Maps common engineering phenomena to plain-language explanations.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NeqSim Physics Explanations

Reference explanations for common thermodynamic and process phenomena.
Use these to add educational context to simulation results.

## Thermodynamic Phenomena

### Joule-Thomson Effect
**What happens:** Gas cools when throttled (expanded through a valve) without doing work.
**Why:** At moderate pressures, intermolecular attraction dominates — expanding gas
molecules must overcome attractive forces, consuming internal energy, which lowers
temperature. At very high pressures (above the inversion temperature), repulsive
forces dominate and the gas heats up instead.
**Typical values:** Natural gas JT coefficient: 0.3-0.7 K/bar. CO2: 0.5-1.2 K/bar (higher because stronger intermolecular forces). Hydrogen: negative (heats on expansion at ambient T).
**Engineering significance:** JT cooling across choke valves can cause hydrate formation,
wax deposition, or auto-refrigeration below material design temperature limits (MDMT).

### Retrograde Condensation
**What happens:** A gas mixture forms liquid when pressure decreases (opposite of
what you'd expect — normally, lowering pressure should vaporize liquid).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add equinor/neqsim/neqsim-physics-explanations@sha256:2954175257f02c24

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260420.b26885a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
