domain/thermodynamic library
Quantity types, units and constants commonly encountered in the field of thermodynamics and related sciences.
Classes
- Entropy
- The number of specific ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged, commonly understood as a measure of disorder. See the Wikipedia entry for Entropy for more information.
- EntropyUnits
- Units acceptable for use in describing Entropy quantities.
- MassUnits
- Units acceptable for use in describing Mass quantities.
- MiscQuantity
- A MiscQuantity is a general (miscellaneous) Quantity having arbitrary dimensions (including possibly the same dimensions as a named Quantity subclass). MiscQuantity objects may be used, for example, in less common domains or as intermediate results in equations.
- Scalar
- A one-dimensional physical quantity that can be described by a single real number. See the Wikipedia entry for Scalar (physics) for more information.
Constants
- avogadro → const MiscQuantity
- Avogadro's Number ('NA' or 'L')
- boltzmannConstant → const Entropy
- The Boltzmann constant is a physical constant that relates the average relative kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas.
- faradayConstant → const MiscQuantity
- Faraday constant ('F')
- firstRadiationConstant → const MiscQuantity
- First Radiation Constant ('c1')
- gasConstantMolar → const MolarEntropy
- Molar Gas Constant ('R')
- L → const MiscQuantity
- An alternative symbol for Avogadro's Number.
- loschmidtStdAtm → const MiscQuantity
- Locshmidt Constant ('n0') at 273.15 K and 101.325 kPa

- Molar Volume of Ideal Gas at 273.15 K and 101.325 kPa ('Vm')
- NA → const MiscQuantity
- The common symbol for Avogadro's Number.
- sackurTetrode100kPa → const Scalar
- Sackur-Tetrode constant at 1 K and 100 kPa ('S0/R').
