Plant Design Part 2: Physical Properties and Steam Tables 1

Physical Properties and Steam Tables
TriMaxTM
Tri MAXTM is a powerful software resource for the practicing engineer, chemist, or student. It is your best source of data. Through the use of menus: data and functionality are put at the finger tips of the power user. Tri MAXTM provides data such as periodic table, steam tables, heat capacities, critical values, viscosities, diffusion coefficients, thermal conductivities. Math functions are also provided, such as linear regression, quadratic equation, curve fitting, and a calculator that goes far beyond the standard calculators available for MicrosoftTM Platforms.
zCalc
zCalc is a compressibility calculator for natural gas mixtures using the American Gas Association methodology from their AGA-8 Report. The software quickly takes a mixture of natural gas (up to 20 components) and calculates the compressibility, molar density, mass density, base compressibility and supercompressibility.
Steampak
Steampak is a high-accuracy steam and water physical properties database and process calculator. Steampak's algorithm is based on the equation of state of Keenan, Keyes, Hill and Moore which is the basis of the published International Steam Tables. The process calculator allows calculation of steam compression and expansion processes at user-selected efficiencies including isentropic & adiabatic expansions and flash calculations.
Chempak
Chempak is a powerful physical properties software package giving details of thermodynamic and transport properties of over 600 common organic and inorganic compounds as functions of temperature and pressure. All common chemical engineering constant and variable properties are included. Liquid and vapor phases are covered as well as saturated and unsaturated states. Mixtures of database compounds and new liquids can be defined. Numerical and graphical output are supported. Chempak links to Chempak II - Madison's user-defined compounds software package.
