Enthalpy and entropy are only equivalent to within an additive constant, so you should always compare enthalpy and entropy *differences* rather than enthalpy and entropy values
2. My calls to REFPROP fail with a mysterious `Segementation Fault`:
Make sure that you have at least REFPROP version 9.1 installed. If you have a license for 9.0,
the upgrade is for free: http://www.nist.gov/srd/nist23.cfm

Please have a look at

if there is no reference for your property, we do not have the information required to
implement the functionality. If you file an issue, please provide information and
a link to a publication with the required data.
1. ..but it used to work in an earlier version of CoolProp
For some fluids, version 5 does not have transport properties even though version 4 had
that information. We decided to remove some correlations, which had very large uncertainties
and we would like to make the user aware of the fact that the old implementation was
experimental and results were not reliable at all.
