Examples
========
This page serves as a teaser of the functionality of CoolProp. These examples are written in the Python programming language. For more information see:
- :ref:`Pure and Pseudo-Pure fluid properties <Fluid-Properties>`
- :ref:`Mixture properties <mixtures>`
- :ref:`Wrapper-specific code examples <wrappers>`
Sample Props Code
-----------------
To use the ``PropsSI`` function, import it and do some calls, do something like this
.. ipython::
# Import the things you need
In [1]: from CoolProp.CoolProp import PropsSI
# Print some information on the currently used version of coolprop
In [1]: import CoolProp; print(CoolProp.__version__, CoolProp.__gitrevision__)
# Density of carbon dioxide at 100 bar and 25C
In [2]: PropsSI('D', 'T', 298.15, 'P', 100e5, 'CO2')
# Saturated vapor enthalpy [J/kg] of R134a at 25C
In [2]: PropsSI('H', 'T', 298.15, 'Q', 1, 'R134a')
All the possible input and output parameters are listed in the
:ref:`High-Level API <high_level_api>` documentation
To understand more about what is going on under the hood, go to :ref:`Fluid-Properties` documentation.
Sample HAPropsSI Code
---------------------
To use the ``HAPropsSI`` function, import it and do some calls, do something like this
.. ipython::
# import the things you need
In [1]: from CoolProp.HumidAirProp import HAPropsSI
# Enthalpy (J per kg dry air) as a function of temperature, pressure,
# and relative humidity at STP
In [2]: h = HAPropsSI('H','T',298.15,'P',101325,'R',0.5); print(h)
# Temperature of saturated air at the previous enthalpy
In [2]: T = HAPropsSI('T','P',101325,'H',h,'R',1.0); print(T)
# Temperature of saturated air - order of inputs doesn't matter
In [2]: T = HAPropsSI('T','H',h,'R',1.0,'P',101325); print(T)
Or go to the :ref:`Humid-Air` documentation.
