PhysProps is
an advanced, pure component, thermophysical property data base and
property
estimating application for Windows (tm)
based
computer
systems. The database is composed of over 6,500 chemical specie names
and
their synonyms (both organic and inorganic
compounds).
The
software was designed with the user in mind and offers simplicity of
use,
a logical interface, and flexible data presentation.
For a
multicomponent
thermophysical property application, learn about our other software
product, MixProps here.
Searching
through
the database is extremely simple. Simply type in the first
few
letters
of the compound's common or IUPAC name (International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry), and PhysProps "search
as you type"
feature quickly
finds
the compound of interest. The data base supports 16
intrinsic
properties such as Tc, Pc, Vc, Tnbp, Tmp, dHf, dGf, dSf,
dHfus,
dHc,
and acentric factor and 12 temperature dependent properties
such
as vapor pressure, densities, viscosities, thermal conductivities, and
heat capacities. The temperature dependent properties can be
viewed
in a tabular or graphical format.
In
addition, if your
particular compound is not in the database, properties can be estimated
from an advanced and extremely powerful estimation module
within PhysProps.
The
estimation routines includes the methods of Joback/Lydersen,
Lee-Kesler,
Pitzer, Letsou-Stiel, Rowlinson-Bondi, and Misic-Thodos. This
set
of estimation routines is ideal for engineers and chemists who need to
obtain estimates of properties for complex compounds that possibly have
never been synthesized before. And as with the data base,
estimated
properties can be viewed in a tabular or graphical format.
Confusion
and mistakes
caused by mixed or inconsistent units of measurements are eliminated
with PhysProps.
Users
may select data to be displayed from any one of three
standard
units
sets (American Engineering, metric, or SI) or set any unit
individually. PhysProps
will
also remember the selected unit set for future sessions.
Also
included within PhysProps
is
a graphically based Periodic Table of the
elements. At
the
press of a button, critical information on any element may be instantly
obtained. Access to a scientific calculator is also quickly
available
from within the application.

designed around:




And as is
found with
all premier Windows applications, PhysProps supports cutting,
copying, and pasting of all data generated to allow
incorporating
the
results into external word processors and spreadsheets. The
tables
and graphs produced may also be cut and pasted into spreadsheets
and word
processing applications to allow users to generate the
quality
reports
that are necessary in today's business world. Users may also
generate publication
quality print-outs of any data table or graph produced.
