T: task
An enhancement to the software.
Motivation
Ideal gas fluid properties are useful for many applications. For 2-phase applications, they need to be able to shift specific internal energy and specific enthalpy to be consistent with the liquid phase. This is essential for computing latent heats correctly, for example. A shift can be added to the specific internal energy definition without breaking the fundamental assumptions of the ideal gas law:
e = cv * T + e_ref
Design
Add a new optional parameter
e_ref
defaulting to zero. This is the same asq

but renamed for greater clarity.Impact
No impact to existing users.
