Energy Conversion - A (Windows 3.x) Description:

Engineering Software has developed a new Windows based software package, Energy Conversion, that quickly, easily and reliably calculates thermodynamic and transport properties of gaseous, liquid and solid species, contains coefficients for the calculation of physical properties -- the user has the capability to use the coefficients to carry out independent engineering calculations involving physical properties of various species, steam approximations for both saturated and superheated areas, analyzes power cycles, power cycle components/processes and compressible flow. This software package should prove to be a good tool for those who are involved at various levels with design, operation and management of energy conversion systems. It should provide the user with the opportunity to more quickly, easily and effectively do his/her work, explore more options, save time and give more confidence in carrying out engineering calculations.
