Thermodynamics

[dvd101x]

Hi,

I was wondering if CoolProp would be desirable for this project in cases when thermodynamics are involved.

Here is a reference

Yes, there are intentions to eventually add some thermodynamics specific functions. I was considering the thermo library but the CoolProp library you point out looks promising. A Pyodide package would need to be built since it's not a pure Python library. Looking at your observable notebook, it has been compiled to wasm at some point for use in JavaScript so it should be possible to build a Pyodide package for it.

Oh wow, that's awesome!

I did read the tutorial and made some tests on my own. It's impressive and I think it opens a world of possibilities!

Just a heads up that I'm working on implementing parametric plotting in EP (#259), which will make it possible to create P-H phase diagrams like in your observable example above. It's something I've been meaning to add for a while.

Oh, that's very cool.

I will try to clean up my observable example so it's more readable.

The parametric plotting feature has been rolled out now. I've recreated a version of your P-H diagram here: https://engineeringpaper.xyz/nvNHofmnhULuyThoRzthe8

Updated it to include the COP and Qc calculations from your observable example: https://engineeringpaper.xyz/mxwD7wdVwGGc43kVKPWgvy
