Sandlertools

A metapackage of computational tools based on Sandler's Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics (5th ed.)

Sandlertools bundles six companion packages into a single installation and wires their command-line interfaces into one unified sandlertools command. It should be used for educational purposes only.

Installation

pip install sandlertools

Included packages

Command-line usage

sandlertools [<global-options>] <command> [<command-options>]

$ sandlertools --help

Global options (--banner/--no-banner, --logging-level, --log) apply to all subcommands. Each subcommand's own options and examples are described in the corresponding package's documentation.

Python API

sandlertools re-exports the public API of each sub-package so that a single import is sufficient for most use cases:

from sandlertools import (
    # sandlerprops
    Compound, PropertiesDatabase, get_database, Properties,
    # sandlersteam
    SandlerSteamState, SteamTables, get_tables,
    # sandlercubics
    IdealGasEOS, VanDerWaalsEOS, SoaveRedlichKwongEOS, PengRobinsonEOS,
    # sandlercorrespondingstates
    CSState,
    # sandlerchemeq
    Component, Reaction, ChemEqSystem,
    # sandlermisc
    R, ureg, DeltaH_IG, DeltaS_IG,
)

Properties and SteamTables are lazy singletons — the underlying data files are parsed only on first access. See each sub-package's documentation for class signatures and usage examples.
