Software : Ideal Gas Tables in SI or English Unit

This light software is very useful for solving Ideal Gas Properties problems. We may use Ideal Gas Table because sometimes known properties given are not complete. It is very helpful to find another properties Ideal.gas table can help just only using couple properties from specified ideal gas. This software assumes that the specific heats are functions of temperatures.

You can select for SI or English system of units. Temperature can be selected for absolute (Kelvin or Rankine) or non-absolute units (Celcius or Fahrenheit). The specific properties may be expressed per unit mass or mole. And then many of the thermodynamics properties of the gases may determined. Those gases are :

- Air
- Argon
- Carbon monoxide CO
- Carbon dioxide CO2
- Hydrogen atom H
- Hydrogen H2
- Hydroxyl OH
- Nitrogen atom N
- Nitrobeg N2
- Nitroen Oxide NO
- Nitrogen dioxide NO2
- Oxygen atom O
- Oxygen O2
- Water vapor H2O

This program is bundled with "Thermodynamics : An Engineering Approach" book by Y. Cengels and M. Boles. This book is intended for use as a textbook by undergraduate engineering students in their sophomore or junior year, and as a reference book for practicing engineers.
