sandlertools 0.1.0

A metapackage combining several computational tools based on Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics (5th edition) by Stan Sandler

Sandlertools

A metapackage of utilities from Sandler's 5th ed.

Sandlertools combines several packages that implement computational tools based on Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics (5th edition) by Stan Sandler (Wiley, USA). It should be used for educational purposes only.

Installation

Sandlertools is available via pip:

pip install sandlertools

This will install

• sandlerprops -- pure component properties database
• sandlersteam -- steam tables
• sandlercubics -- real-gas cubic equations of state
• sandlercorrespondingstates -- corresponding-states chart reads
• sandlermisc -- miscellaneous utilities

Usage

Command-line

The general structure of a sandlertools command is

$ sandlertools [<global-options>] <tool> [<tool-options>]

$ sandlertools --help
usage: sandlertools [-h] [-b | --banner | --no-banner] [--logging-level {None,info,debug,warning}] [-l LOG] <command> ...

Sandler Tools: A collection of computational tools based on Chemical, Biochemical, and Engineering Thermodynamics (5th edition) by Stan Sandler

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b, --banner, --no-banner
                        toggle banner message
  --logging-level {None,info,debug,warning}
                        Logging level for messages written to diagnostic log
  -l LOG, --log LOG     File to which diagnostic log messages are written

subcommands:
  <command>
    props               query and manipulate thermophysical property data
    cubic               query and manipulate cubic equation of state calculations
    steam               work with steam tables and properties of water/steam
    cs                  work with corresponding states calculations

API

sandlertools exposes several classes, objects, and functions from its component packages:

• PropertiesDatabase -- the pure-component properties database class from the sandlerprops.properties module
• SandlerSteamState -- the State class from the sandlersteam.state module
• SteamTables -- the SteamTables object from the sandlersteam.state module
• IdealGasEOS, GeneralizedVDWEOS, and PengRobinsonEOS classes from the sandlercubics.eos module
• CorrespondingStatesChartReader class from the sandlercorrespondingstates.charts module
• GasConstant class from the sandlermisc.gas_constant module
• DeltaH_IG and DeltaS_IG functions from sandlermisc.thermals
