source = Chemical

-

(optional) literal keyword option

output

-

symbol or string for the desired output quantity

fluid

-

symbol or string representing the medium

Description

• 

The Property command can be used to find all information available through the ThermophysicalData package. It calls one of the following commands:

– 

ThermophysicalData[Chemicals][Property] to find data available through the ThermophysicalData[Chemicals] subpackage

– 

ThermophysicalData[CoolProp][Property] to find data available through the ThermophysicalData[CoolProp] subpackage

– 

ThermophysicalData[Atmosphere][Property] to find data available through the ThermophysicalData[Atmosphere] subpackage

  

Every calling sequence of these commands is supported.

• 

If no source option is given, then Maple tries calling all three commands. If exactly one of the three commands returns without error, that value is returned; otherwise, an error is signaled.

  

In the case where no source option is given, one can obtain some information about the process of selecting a suitable source by setting the infolevel for ThermophysicalData to 2 or (for more verbose information) 3.

Examples

withThermophysicalData:

We compute a value from the CoolProp subpackage.

Propertydensity,Water,temperature=300Unitkelvin,pressure=101325UnitPa,source=CoolProp

996.5569353kgm3

(1)

We compute a value from the Chemicals subpackage.

PropertyHeatOfFormation,SiHBr3,source=Chemicals,useunits

302922.000Jmol

(2)

We compute a few values using whichever subpackage is appropriate.

Propertydensity,Water,temperature=300Unitkelvin,pressure=101325UnitPa

996.5569353kgm3

(3)

PropertyHeatOfFormation,SiHBr3,useunits

302922.000Jmol

(4)

We compute some more values using whichever subpackage is appropriate, now requesting extra information to be printed through the use of the infolevel setting.
