Introduction

The Properties Calculator extracts specific material parameter values at a user-defined temperature. This tool is highly practical for preliminary analytical work, such as estimating pressure drops or determining the Reynolds number to select an appropriate turbulence model. The calculator processes materials defined by constant (scalar) values, temperature-dependent tabulated data (lists), and polynomial functions.

Usage

Evaluating material properties requires three inputs within the calculator interface:

• Material Type: Select the classification (Solid or Fluid).
• Material: Choose the specific material from the active library.
• Temperature: Input the target evaluation temperature in Kelvin (K).

Upon entering valid parameters, the Calculate button becomes active. Executing the calculation outputs the specific material properties. The interface provides exact numerical values alongside a graphical representation, plotting the evaluated data point directly against the material's underlying temperature-dependency curve.

The visible graph can be toggled between different calculated properties (e.g., density, thermal conductivity) by clicking the 'eye' icon adjacent to each result row.
