📊 Google Colab

You can use the following code to run PyCUC in Google Colab:

📥 Installation

Install PyCUC with pip:

import pycuc

# check version

print(pycuc.__version__)

🔍 Usage Examples

📋 Example 1: Basic Operations

🔍 Check References

print(pycuc.check_reference('pressure'))

🛠️ Create a Custom Unit Converter

# ! pressure

my_cuc_1 = pycuc.create_cuc(1, 'MPa')

# convert to Pa

print(my_cuc_1.convert('Pa'))

print(my_cuc_1.convert('bar'))

print(my_cuc_1.convert('kPa'))



# ! temperature

my_cuc_2 = pycuc.create_cuc(358, 'K')

# convert to K

print(my_cuc_2.convert('C'))

print(my_cuc_2.convert('F'))

print(my_cuc_2.convert('R'))

↔️ Convert From/To

# ! pressure

print(pycuc.convert_from_to(1, 'MPa', 'Pa'))

# ! temperature

print(pycuc.convert_from_to(358, 'K', 'C'))

print(pycuc.convert_from_to(25, 'C', 'K'))

🔄 Convert From/To (Short Format)

# ! pressure

print(pycuc.to(125, 'MPa => Pa'))

# ! temperature

print(pycuc.to(360, 'K => C'))

print(pycuc.to(250, 'C => K'))

✏️ Define a New Unit

# ! heat capacity unit: J/mol.K

my_cuc_3 = pycuc.create_cuc(25, 'J/mol.K')

# add custom

my_cuc_3.add_custom_unit('J/mol.K', 1)

my_cuc_3.add_custom_unit('kJ/mol.K', 1000)

# conversion

print(my_cuc_3.convert('J/mol.K'))

print(my_cuc_3.convert('kJ/mol.K'))

📚 Check Reference

# ! pressure

print(my_cuc_3.check_reference('pressure'))

# ! temperature

print(my_cuc_3.check_reference('temperature'))

# ! custom

print(my_cuc_3.check_reference('custom'))

📋 Example 2: Advanced Usage

📂 Load Custom Units from YML Files

# load unit yml file

unit_file = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'test', 'custom-unit.yml')

my_cuc = pycuc.go(reference_file=unit_file)

🔀 Using from_to Method

# ! pressure

print(my_cuc.from_to(1, 'MPa', 'Pa'))

🚀 Using to Method

# ! pressure

print(my_cuc.to(125, 'MPa => Pa'))

📋 Check References

# ! from yml file

print(my_cuc.check_reference('custom::CUSTOM'))

print(my_cuc.check_reference('custom::HEAT-CAPACITY'))

print(my_cuc.check_reference('custom::ENERGY'))
