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
molarPlanck → const MiscQuantity
Molar Planck Constant ('Nah')
