The ThermophysicalData package contains functions for computing thermophysical, thermodynamic, and thermochemical properties, as well as standard atmospheric models.
Each command in the ThermophysicalData package can be accessed by using either the long form or the short form of the command name in the calling sequence.
The long form, ThermophysicalData:-command, is always available. The short form can be used after loading the package.
The ThermophysicalData package has three subpackages: CoolProp, Chemicals, and Atmosphere.
Atmosphere
find properties of air as a function of altitude
PHTChart
plot isotherms and quality curves on a pressure-enthalpy diagram
Property
access thermophysical data
PsychrometricChart
create a psychrometric chart to extract and visualize thermophysical properties of humid air
TemperatureEntropyChart
plot saturation dome and isobars on temperature-entropy axes
The CoolProp subpackage contains the following commands:
HAPropsSI
access CoolProp thermophysical data about humid air
PhaseSI
access CoolProp phase data in string form
access thermophysical fluid data from CoolProp
Props1SI
access CoolProp thermophysical fluid data independent of thermophysical state
PropsSI
access CoolProp thermophysical fluid data
The Chemicals subpackage contains the following commands:
GetSpecies
returns the chemicals known to ThermophysicalData:-Chemicals
access thermodynamic data known to ThermophysicalData:-Chemicals
The Atmosphere subpackage contains the following commands:
chemical names
list of chemicals known to ThermophysicalData:-Chemicals
fluids
