lib.coolProp module

Library to multiparameter equation of state calculation using coolprop http://coolprop.sourceforge.net/index.html

If available, this is a optional speed up method for mEoS internal library

All the functionality is included in the main class:

• CoolProp: Stream definition using coolProp external library

API reference

lib.coolProp.translate(context: str, sourceText: str, disambiguation: str = None, n: int = -1) → str

class lib.coolProp.CoolProp(**kwargs)

Bases: ThermoAdvanced

Stream class using coolProp external library Parameters needed to define it are:

-ids: index of fluid -fraccionMolar: molar fraction

-T: Temperature, Kelvin -P: Pressure, Pa -rho: Density, kg/m3 -h: Enthalpy, J/kg -s: Entropy, J/kgK -x: Quality, -

Attributes:

calculable

Check in the class is fully defined

Methods

__call__(**kwargs)	Call self as a function.
calculo()	Calculate procedure
getphase(estado)	Return fluid phase with translation support
