Module Contents
- py_atmosphere.temp_conversion.temp_conversion(properties, property_to_change, desired_unit)[source]
Convert the units of a selected atmospheric property.
Parameters:
- propertiesList
A three-element list that describes the inputed altitude (km), along with the temperature (Celsius) and pressure (KiloPascal) of the air. This is typically the output of py_atmosphere function.
- property_to_changestr
Selected property for which units need to be changed. Valid inputs are: “altitude”, “temperature”, “pressure”
- desired_unitstr
The desired units for the selected property. Valid units for temperature: C (Celsius), F (Fahrenheit), K (Kelvin), R (Rankine) Valid units for altitude: m (meters), km (kilometers), ft (feet), miles (miles) Valid units for pressure: bar (bar), kPa (KiloPascal), psia (Pounds over square inch)
Returns:
- list
A three-element list with the selected property converted to the specified units.
Examples
>>> temp_conversion([0.0, 15.04, 101325], "temperature", "K") [0.0, 288.19, 101325]
