: Implements high-accuracy Helmholtz energy equations, the GERG-2008 model for natural gas, and the AGA8 equation. Fluid and Mixture Library
REFPROP is a comprehensive database of thermophysical properties of fluids, including refrigerants, hydrocarbons, and other industrially important fluids. It provides accurate and reliable property data for use in simulations, design, and optimization of various engineering systems, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, power generation and conversion systems, and chemical processes. nist refprop 9
Engineers designing compressors, expansion valves, and heat exchangers use REFPROP 9 to model the exact refrigerant behavior. For example, calculating the isentropic efficiency of a compressor requires precise entropy values at the inlet and outlet. Using REFPROP 9 reduces design margin risks from 10% (using ideal gas tables) to under 1%. , a small team of scientists and coders
