ThermophysicalData[CoolProp]

PropsSI

access CoolProp thermophysical fluid data

	Calling Sequence
	PropsSI(output, input1, value1, input2, value2, fluid, opts)

Parameters

output	-	symbol or string for the desired output quantity
input1, input2	-	symbol or string giving the input quantities
value1, value2	-	real numbers for the input quantities, optionally with units
fluid	-	symbol or string representing the medium
opts	-	(optional) equation of the form useunits = true or useunits = false

Description

•	The PropsSI function interrogates the CoolProp library for thermophysical data.

•	The output parameter can, in principle, be any of the numerical thermophysical properties in the Quantity and Maple-specific aliases columns of the following table, whenever that property makes sense for the given fluid.

•	Only quantities with Yes in the Input? column can be used for input1 and input2, and only some combinations of these inputs will work.

•

The quantities for input1, input2, and output should be entered as strings or symbols. If a variable with the same name is already in use, it is best to use a string or to use unevaluation quotes to prevent evaluation of the variable name. In almost all circumstances, you can use either one of the names used by the CoolProp library, or an alias defined by the Maple package.

•

In some situations, the output parameter can be used to compute the partial derivative of one quantity with respect to another, while keeping a third quantity constant. This is done by specifying output in the form "d(OF)/d(WRT)|CONSTANT", where OF, WRT, and CONSTANT are valid CoolProp-recognized quantity names. In this case, OF represents the quantity CoolProp takes the derivative of, WRT is the quantity with respect to which CoolProp takes the derivative, and CONSTANT is the quantity kept constant.

For example, the constant pressure specific heat is the partial derivative of the mass specific enthalpy (Hmass) with respect to the temperature (T) at constant pressure (P); consequently, it can be represented as "d(Hmass)/d(T)|P". (There is also a dedicated representation for this quantity: C.) Specifying a partial derivative is the only situation where the Maple-defined aliases are not recognized.

•

You should use real constants for value1 and value2. Optionally, you can affix a unit to the value you give; the default unit for any quantity is given in the Unit column of the following table. If you supply a unit with any of the quantities you submit, the answer will have the appropriate unit as well. This behavior can be overridden by using the useunits option: if you supply useunits = true (which can be shortened to just useunits), then the result will always have the appropriate unit, and if you supply useunits = false, the result will never have a unit.
