PsychroLib: Psychrometric Properties of Moist and Dry Air

Description

Contains functions for calculating thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures and standard atmosphere suitable for most engineering, physical and meteorological applications.

Details

Most of the functions are an implementation of the formulae found in the 2017 ASHRAE Handbook - Fundamentals, in both International System (SI), and Imperial (IP) units. Please refer to the information included in each function for their respective reference.

psychroLib is a port of the psychrolib library for R.

Pakcage options

• psychrolib.units The default unit system. Should be either be "SI" or "IP".

Note

We have made every effort to ensure that the code is adequate, however, we make no representation with respect to its accuracy. Use at your own risk. Should you notice an error, or if you have a suggestion, please notify us through GitHub at https://github.com/psychrometrics/psychrolib/issues.
