What is CoolProp?
=================

CoolProp is a C++ library that implements:

- Pure and pseudo-pure fluid equations of state and transport properties for 114 components
- Mixture properties using high-accuracy Helmholtz energy formulations (or cubic EOS)
- Correlations of properties of incompressible fluids and brines
- Highest accuracy psychrometric routines

======================
Environments Supported
======================

Programming Languages:

- Fully-featured wrappers: :ref:`Python (2.x, 3.x) <Python>` , :sfdownloads:`Modelica <Modelica>`, :ref:`Octave <Octave>`, :ref:`C# <Csharp>`, :ref:`MathCAD <MathCAD>`, :ref:`Java <Java>`, :ref:`MATLAB <MATLAB>`
- High-level interface only: :ref:`Labview <Labview>`, :ref:`EES <EES>`, :ref:`Microsoft Excel <Microsoft Excel>`, :ref:`Javascript <Javascript>`, :ref:`PHP <PHP>`, :ref:`FORTRAN <FORTRAN>`, :ref:`Maple <Maple>`, :ref:`Mathematica <Mathematica>`, :ref:`Scilab <Scilab>`, VB.net

Architectures:

- 32-bit/64-bit
- Windows, Linux, OSX, Raspberry PI, VxWorks Compact Rio, etc. (if you can compile C++ for it, CoolProp will run)

============================
High-Level Interface Example
============================
In most languages, the code to calculate density ``D`` of Nitrogen at a temperature ``T`` of 298 K and a pressure ``P`` of 101325 Pa is something like::

    rho = PropsSI('D', 'T', 298.15, 'P', 101325, 'Nitrogen')
