References (provenance only)
- CoolProp 8.0.0 (MIT) — open-source thermophysical property library; this site pins this version and may not track every upstream release. Equation-of-state provenance per fluid as documented by CoolProp for that release.
- Ordinary water/steam: /tools/steam-calculator (IAPWS-IF97) — H2O is not offered here; heavy water (HeavyWater) is available in this tool.
Model assumptions
- Ordinary water (H2O) and steam are not in this catalog — use /tools/steam-calculator (IAPWS-IF97). Heavy water (HeavyWater / D2O) is outside the steam-table scope and remains available here. Missing transport properties (μ, k, …) are returned as unavailable.
- Incompressible HTF / brine fluids (INCOMP::*) have no vapor–liquid saturation curve in CoolProp. For those fluids the UI hides saturation modes and offers only single-phase T–P (and batch fixed-P / T sweeps). HEOS pure and pseudo-pure fluids keep saturation-by-T and saturation-by-P when a saturation curve exists.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is ordinary water missing? Does this replace the steam calculator?
- No. Ordinary water/steam is owned by /tools/steam-calculator (IAPWS-IF97); this tool does not duplicate that path. Heavy water (D2O) is not covered by the steam table and can be selected here. Both tools share the same platform credit wallet for batch Excel.
- Why did saturation modes disappear for some fluids?
- Because that fluid has no saturation curve (typical for incompressible heat-transfer oils and brines). The calculator hides saturation options instead of showing disabled choices; use single-point T–P or batch temperature / fixed-pressure sweeps.
