Fluid Properties

Fluid Properties

nergy Conversion Systems such as power plants, HVAC, fluid power packs etc, use working fluid that constantly change phase and state with respect to temperature and pressure. Getting the property data of these fluids is the first and foremost step in any engineering analysis. This task is even more complex whenever it contains more than one fluid. For example, a flue stack may contain several different gases.

The transport properties of the fluids used in any engineering design analysis is listed below.

Density
Specific heat
Viscosity
Thermal conductivity.

This program serves as an instant reference guide for transport properties of most common liquids and gases, and for fluid mixtures that are normally found in most “Energy Conversion Systems”.

team table is referred for all thermodynamic properties as well as transport properties at any given temperature and pressure. It is often too cumbersome while interpolating the data since the table is generated in certain interval or steps of primary arguments. For saturation condition, the primary argument can be either temperature or pressure where as for superheat condition, temperature and pressure are independent of each other. This program serves as a quick reference for the steam table that provides both thermodynamic as well as transport properties.

sychrometric chart is referred for all thermodynamic properties of humid air at given dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures. This program also serves as a quick reference guide for the Psychrometric chart that provides both thermodynamic as well as transport properties of humid air.
