engcoolprop 0.1.0

EngCoolProp is a python Engineering Units wrapper around the CoolProp project.

EngCoolProp Interfaces The Coolprop Project with English Units

CoolProp uses SI units for calculating fluid properties. For those of us in industries that rely on English/Engineering units, EngCoolProp provides an interface.

EngCoolProp uses units of primarily inch, lbm, lbf, sec, BTU (some use of ft and hour).:

The following are the default units for each property.

T    = Temperature = degR
Tc   = Critical Temperature = degR
Tnbp = Normal Boiling Point = degR
P    = Pressure = psia
Pc   = Critical Pressure = psia
D    = Density = lbm/cu ft
rho  = Density = lbm/cu inch
Dc   = Critical Density = lbm/cu ft
E    = Internal Energy = BTU/lbm
H    = Enthalpy = BTU/lbm
S    = Entropy = BTU/lbm degR
Cv   = Heat Capacity (const. V) = BTU/lbm degR
Cp   = Heat Capacity (const. P) = BTU/lbm degR
g    = Ratio of Specific Heats (Cp/Cv) = (-)
A    = Sonic Velocity = ft/sec
V    = Viscosity = 1.0E5 * lb/ft-sec
C    = Thermal Conductivity = BTU/ft-hr-R
MW   = Molecular Weight = lbm/lbmmole
Q    = Quality (fraction gas) = (-)
Z    = Compressibility() = (-)
