fluprodia 0.1.1

Creating Fluid Proprety Diagrams using CoolProp

Create custom and beautiful Fluid Property Diagrams with fluprodia. The package implements fluid property data from CoolProp [1]. Plotting is handled by matplotlib [2], all calculations are performed with numpy [3]. The list of fluids available can be found at CoolProp.

Installation and Usage

pip install fluprodia

from fluprodia import FluidPropertyDiagram

diagram = FluidPropertyDiagram(fluid='H2O')
diagram.set_unit_system(T='°C', h='kJ/kg', p='bar')
diagram.calc_isolines()
diagram.set_limits(x_min=0, x_max=8000, y_min=0, y_max=700)
diagram.draw_isolines(diagram_type='Ts')
diagram.save('Ts_diagram_H2O.svg')
diagram.save('Ts_diagram_H2O.png', dpi=300)

diagram = FluidPropertyDiagram(fluid='NH3')
diagram.set_unit_system(T='°C', h='kJ/kg', p='bar')
diagram.calc_isolines()
diagram.set_limits(x_min=0, x_max=2000, y_min=1e-1, y_max=2e2)
diagram.draw_isolines(diagram_type='logph')
diagram.save('logph_diagram_NH3.png', dpi=300)
diagram.save('logph_diagram_NH3.svg')
