CoolProp 6.3.0 Released - Wrappers for Mathcad 15 and Prime

Since we can't post on the Tips forum, I'll leave this here...

 

Coolprop version 6.3.0 is released.  Coolprop is an open-source C++ library that implements:

  • Pure and pseudo-pure fluid equations of state and transport properties for 122 components
  • Mixture properties using high-accuracy Helmholtz energy formulations
  • Correlations of properties of incompressible fluids and brines
  • Highest accuracy psychrometric routines (Humid Air properties) 
  • User-friendly interface around the full capabilities of NIST REFPROP (if you own REFPROP already)
  • Fast IAPWS-IF97 (Industrial Formulation) for Water/Steam

Fully featured wrappers are available for both Mathcad 15 and Mathcad Prime as Add-in DLLs.  Documentation can be found at http:/www.coolprop.org.  Instructions for downloading the Add-in wrappers from SourceForge for either version of Mathcad can be found here.  A Mathcad worksheet is included with the DLL that demonstrates how to use the add-in.

    Yep.  That's .045% relative error in Cp between IF97 and IAPWS-95.  To be expected.  These are the differences between IAPWS-95 and IF97.

     

    The IF97 computational validation points match the verification points in IAPWS R7-97(2012) to 8 decimal places in most cases.

    The CoolPro uses the IAPWS-95 not the IAPWS-IF97 formulation! It is a bag!

    Not true.  I spent the last year coding IF97 into it.  You just use the fluid "IF97::Water" instead of "Water".  This calls the IAPWS-IF97 backend, which is now included.  See the docs.

     

    The Mathcad add-in was re-implemented in version 6.0.0 and full IF97 was implemented in 6.2.0.

    Last Maple uses CoolProp with IAPWS-95 formulation!

    The CoolProp 6.3.0 binaries have been verified using the new release of Mathcad Prime 6.0.

    I'm a longtime user of Mathcad 15 with steam table extension and a novice using Prime.  I've copied the latest CoolProp .dll file to the "Custom Functions" folder but Prime doesn't recognize any of the thermodynamic functions.  I'm looking for some help using CoolProp in Mathcad Prime.

    I believe they are functions and tables that import standard thermodynamic properties into Mathcad.  There is also WatersteamPro.

      Note that CoolProp 6.6.0 is now released and the DLL for Mathcad Prime is autogenerated on SourceForge for this release (along with a sample worksheet).
