<<Introduction>>
EOS-SCx is the freeware which calculates
density, pressure, and other thermodynamic properties by the
equations-of-state for water, methanol, and carbon dioxide,
applicable to the wide range of gas, liquid, and supercritical state.
If you study chemistry, you know the equation-of-state (EOS) of ideal
gas.
When gas is compressed, its density becomes higher, and at last gas
turns liquid usually via the co-existence state.
The EOS of ideal gas cannot be applied to this case.
Indeed, empirical EOS of important substances have been suggested.
I studied the supercritical fluids in the doctoral program.
In this study, the estimation of the density is very important.
When the density is estimated, the empirical EOS based on many
experimental data are useful.
However, these EOS are too complicated for the pocket calculator.
Not a few researchers use the tabulated values or their interpolations.
If the precise values of EOS are needed, the calculation programs must
be developed.
For several unfortunate reasons, I needed it.
Then, I made a prototype of this program, which is only based on the
EOS of methanol.
I need only the density of methanol.
EOS brings out the various properties, e.g. Hermhortz free energy.
Soon after that, I enabled this program to calculate such properties.
This program supports my first published paper very much.
On the other hand, I was exhausted for the development of this program.
So, I think that I should be paid for it.
This payment is "RELEASE as a freeware." for use in various studies.
However, the studies of supercritical methanol are not so many.
Those of supercritical water and carbon dioxide have been reported
enormously.
Therefore, we add the EOS of water and carbon dioxide to the program.
Finally, the program has evolved
EOS-SCx.
Unfortunately, when the development was completed, I found the
calculation programs for the generic equation-of-state: "PROPATH" and
the program authored by the group of Wagner, which supports much more
substances!
However, these have not prevailed even in the researchers.
At least, I do not find the place for downloading freely.
And anyway, I made it.
Surely
EOS-SCx supports
your studies at the most, and I hope that.

<<Brief Overview>>
This program calculates
the density from
the
temperature and
the pressure,
and
the pressure from
the
temperature
and
the density.
Furthermore, the following thermodynamic properties can be calculated
from the EOS:
Melting Pressure (for temperature, without
water)
Saturation Pressure (for temperature)
Saturation Density (for temperature)
Internal Energy
Enthalpy
Helmhortz Free Energy
Gibbs Free Energy
Entropy
Isochoric Specific Heat
Isobaric Specific Heat
Compression Factor
Fugacity Coefficient
Sound Velocity
Joule-Thomson Coefficient
Second Virial Coefficient
Isobaric Expansion Coefficient
Isothermal Compression Coefficient
The following properties can be calculated, not from EOS, but from
their respective empirical equations:
Viscosity (for water and carbon dioxide)
Thermal Conductivity (for water and carbon dioxide)
Thermal Diffusivity (for water and carbon dioxide)
Relative Dielectric Constant (only for water)
Ion Product (only for water)
Refractive Index (only for water)
Moreover,
the above properties can be
calculated at many state points automatically and then be tabulated.
In addition,
the above
thermodynamic properties can be converted between in various units,
which you sometimes feel troublesome.
That is how I recommend the
EOS-SCx!

<<How to Use>>
Execute eos-scx[.exe], or, double-click the icon of eos-scx[.exe] or a
corresponding operation.
The following window appears.
At first, anyway, click the "Calculate."
Then, the window shows the various values.
Probably the values appear in a flash.
For calculation, all you do is only the click "Calculate."
Now you perform the calculation at the critical point of water
(647.096K, 322kg/m3).
Perhaps you may suspect the value is incorrect. (This reason is
mentioned in
restrictions)
Next, let's calculate the density at the more familiar state point, at
25 degC and 1 atm.
At first you should select the fluid.
But now you do not need change it because the default selection is
"water."
Next, select the units.
The unit of the temperature is "degC". Select it.
The unit of the pressure is "atm". Select it.
Here, select "g/cm3" as the unit of the density.
The value of the temperature is 25. Input it.
Now, you cannot input the value of the pressure, because the text area
is off.
Click the radiobutton on the left side, and the text area turns on and
you can input the value of the pressure.
The value of the temperature is 1. Input it.
Now, you finished the preparation. Click "Calculate."
The results are obtained.
For example, 0.99705g/cm3 is obtained as the density value.
It is less than 1g/cm3 you familiar. The precise experimental
value is 0.99704g/cm3, which is very close.
By the way, how about the carbon dioxide at the same state point,
25degC and 1atm?
Select "carbon dioxide" for calculating it.
As for the rest, only click "Calculate."
The results are shown below.
For example, the obtained density value is 0.0018g/cm3, which is very
small.
You find it is gas state easily.
Back to the TOP
<<How to Make Tables of TYPE
I (Matrix Type)>>
A TYPE I table mean an "m*n matrix".
How to make tables of TYPE II is here.
Click "Make Tables," the following window appears.
The default selection is TYPE I in the TABLE TYPE.
Now let's calculate the density of water at 0, 100, 200, and 300 degC
and the various pressures from 1 to 100 atm.
Select the fluid and the units in the Main Window, before operation of
the above window.
Next, select the quantities of ROW and COLUMN in the table of the
matrix type.
You do not need the change the default selection; the temperature and
pressure are still selected.
However, the table is easy to be treated when the ROW is pressure and
the COLUMN is temperature, because the number of the pressure values is
larger.
Select "P" (Pressure) in the ROW combobox.
Next, select "T" (Temperature) in the COLUMN combobox.
Here, input the respective values as the comma(",")-delimited
text.
For example, in the COLUMN text area, input the temperature values as
"0,100,200,300" without spacing.
Input the pressure values as
"5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100" without
spacing, too.
Too long? Yes. This program supports you inputting the many
values.
Anyway, input "5,5,20" in the text area on the right side of "ROW
series x, y, z=."
Then, click "<= make x, x+y, ..., x+(z-1)y."
You find the comma-delimited text is created:
"5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100"
The input of "5,5,20" means the creation of the series "from 5,
increasing every 5, and 20 values."
Now add "1," of the head of the series for the calculation at
1atm.
This kind of alteration (addition or deletion) is valid.
In the below combobox, "Select the thermodynamics you want."
Here, select "Density: rho."
Click "Make Tables."
Then, open the save dialog for the table (in your OS language; below in
a typical Japanese dialog).
The table is saved as a text file.
Move to the folder as you want to locate and name the file as you
like.
Here, name "test" for example.
After you name it, click "save" (or corresponding button in your
language).
Then, the calculation begins and the calculation process is shown in
the Main Window behind.
If you do not want to show the process, check off "Show Calculation
Process," in advance.
Check off, and the calculation process becomes faster a little but
silent as if it was frozen. You need tolerance to wait a
little.
When the calculation is completed, the below message appears.
Look in the table you have made.
The appearance is the below by the Notepad.
You may think the program created a little bad table, but the output is
right.
This table is tab-delimited text.
Now, this table is titled. If you do not need such a title, check
off "Add the title at the 1st line," in advance.
The tab-delimited text is useful for reading the software for analysis
the data.
This data can be loaded and justified in such software. (The

<<How to Make Tables of TYPE
II (3 Columns Type)>>
A TYPE II table means an "n*3 matrix," which is derived from the "n*2
matrices" in a text file; the element (n, 3) is calculated from the
elements (n, 1) and (n, 2).
Therefore, you have to prepare the tab-delimited n*2 matrix as a text
file, in advance.
How to make tables of TYPE I is here.
Click "Make Tables," the following window appears.
Select TYPE II in the "TABLE TYPE", the window is switched to be
displayed.
The tab-delimited n*2 matrix as a text file is needed for the following
operation.
There is a sample text file is in the package of EOS-SCx: "t2_samp.txt"
The content of t2_samp.txt is below.
Now you use it for creating a TYPE II table.
(By the way, this file was used for the analysis of a certain paper in
my study.)
Select the fluid and the units in the Main Window, before operation of
the window.
These sample data are used in the analysis of carbon dioxide in the
units of degC and MPa.
The first column of the sample data shows temperature and the second
column shows pressure.
You should select "T" in the 1st COLUMN combobox and "P" in the 2nd
COLUMN combobox, but they are same as the default selection.
Input the filename (now, "t2_samp.txt") with its full path in the text
area of "FILE for reading columns."
Otherwise you can search and set the filename with its full path by
clicking "ref."
(The character may be wrong encoded in the languages with 2-byte font,
but the problem is probably only the appearance.)
Look at the sample text (t2_samp.txt), and you find the tab-delimited
text from the 4th line.
This program can load only a tab-delimited text and must skip 3 lines
of this file.
So, input "3" in the text area of "Skip lines."
In the below combobox, "Select the thermodynamics you want."
Here, select "Sound Velocity: W."
Click "Make Tables."
Then, open the save dialog for the table (in your OS language; below in
a typical Japanese dialog).
The table is saved as a text file.
Move to the folder as you want to locate and name the file as you
like.
Here, name "test" for example.
After you name it, click "save" (or corresponding button in your
language).
Then, the calculation begins and the calculation process is shown in
the Main Window behind.
If you do not want to show the process, check off "Show Calculation
Process," in advance.
Check off, and the calculation process becomes faster a little but
silent as if it was frozen. You need tolerance to wait a
little.
When the calculation is completed, the below message appears.
Look in the table you have made.
The appearance is like the below by the Notepad.

<<Restirictions>>
Significant Digits and Errors
This program does not care about the
significant digits (as you can see clearly!).
You remember that the significant digits are not more than 6 digits
(for carbon dioxide, 5 digits) at most.
In addition, the respective EOS have estimated errors.
The details are in
the references.
The Vicinity of the Critical Point
The EOS for methanol itself has the faults in the vicinity of the
critical point.
For other EOS,
the error becomes larger
due to the fated critical behavior in the vicinity of the critical
point. In addition, the calculation results
are sometimes unlikely, e.g. negative values.
The operation errors are excluded as much as possible, but they may
occur.
Calculation from a Pair of Pressure and Density, or from
Others.
Beyond this program.
The reference of water suggests the backward equations. If you
like, use it.
Meta-stable State
This program gives the values between gas-liquid saturation densities,
which is only realized in the meta-stable state, e.g. the supercooled
state.
In this case, this program shows the error message as
"(meta-stable?)." Although such calculated values are simply
extrapolated values, these are adjacent to the "true" values in
principle. Reliablity of these values should be
evaluated.according to the situation.
Notce that such a message pass through in
a flash and cannot be recognized when the table is made.
Extrapolated Values out of the Applicable Region of EOS.
The calculation is not performed out of
the applicable range of EOS.
The reason is here.
If you need it, you can make a table and extrapolate it.
Consistency of the Table
Even if the errors occur, tabulation often continues.
So the table sometimes includes inappropriate values for the
errors.
The Viscosity of Carbon Dioxide in the Gas Phase
In a part of gas density region, the calculation values are
wrong for the numerical errors.
So, this program shows the linearly interpolated values between zero
density and 5kg/m3.
The Contribution of the Critical Enhancement for the Thermal
Conductivity of Carbon Dioxide
Imagenary number appears in the calculation. But this program can
be ignored finally.
The reference estimated the critical enhancement with the solutions of
the fourth order equation.
Not all solutions of the fourth order equation are real, but the
reference did not explain the treatment of these complex
solutions.
However, this program picks up the real part of the finally calculated
values, because the imagenary part is much smaller than the real
part.
The calculated values by this program are good agreement with the
tabulated values in reference. Therefore, the calculated values
are reliable enough, even if this treatment is not right.
On the other hand, for the viscosity of the carbon dioxide, the
reference estimated the critical enhancement with the solutions of the
third order equation. In this case, the solutions are always
real.

<<FAQ (assumed)>>
There are several responses, but not "frequently."
So, the following frequently asking questions are "assumed."
Q. Do not work.
When this program is stopped in your operations?
At first, you should make sure of
Hardware
Requirements, Install, Uninstall.
When you cannot expand the downloaded file, you should make sure of the
file size. If the size is different from the information of the
website, download it again.
The downloaded file is zip file, which is compressed. Never
execute it.
Execute the files eos-scx[.exe] with this icon

.
If you do not know "compress" or
"expand", you should search that in Google or Yahoo.
If you have still problems, it may be bugs.
Contact
the author as soon as possible.
Q. The calculated values are very different from the
references.
Do you select the fluid or units correctly?
If your problem is a kind of
the restrictions,
it cannot be fixed sooner, sorry.
If you have still problems, it may be bugs.
Contact
the author as soon as possible.
Q. The calculated values are a little different from the
references.
Do you compare the calculated values with the experimental
values? This is rather reasonably agreement with it in spite of a
little discrepancy. You should compare them with
the
reference of EOS, if you make sure of the validity of this
program. According to
the restrictions,
the significant digits are 6 at most.
For the viscosity and thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide, there is
a little discrepancy because the used density values are different from
the references.
If you have still problems, it may be bugs.
Contact
the author as soon as possible.
Q. How do I believe in the calculated values?
Not a little. Otherwise, it depends on the
situation.
At least, this program reproduces the values in the table of the
references of the EOS, as far as I checked.
So, the reliability of this program is equal to that of the EOS.
Anyway, please compare the calculated values with the values of
the references and judge the reliablility of this
program.
As shown in
the restrictions, the incorrect
values may be obtained.
Q. What is "N/A"?
"Not applicable."
There are two cases: restrictions in the references or the avoiding the
error in this program.
Q. What is "N/A" with a value in bracket for the viscosity of
carbon dioxide?
The critical enhancement of the viscosity of carbon dioxide is
estimated by the solutions of the third order equation. In the
vicinity of the critical point, this estimation is broken because the
solution of the equation is the triple root.
The value in bracket shows the viscosity without the contribution of
the critical enhancement. However, the critical enhancement of
the
viscosity is not so large. So, this viscosity values in bracket
is
not so bad in some cases.
In addition, the thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide is estimated by
using the viscosity values. When the viscosity values are in
bracket with "N/A," this program calculates the thermal conductivity by
using this value in bracket.
In this case, the error is large generally in the vicinity of the
critical point. So, I believed that the error is not mainly due
to
the lack of the critical enhancement of the viscosity.
Q. Why are there blanks in the dielectric constant of carbon
dioxide or thermal conductivity of methanol, and so on?
Their experimental values are reported, of course. But the
equations estimating them have not been suggested in the wide
range.
In the future, when their equations are established, I adopt
them.
Q. How is the EOS determined?
I never develop the EOS. I only cited the
references.
I think that the methodology is established to some extent for the
development of the EOS, and that the experimental data are fitted by
the
usual functions.
See
the references in detail.
If you are interested in the methodology of the development of the EOS,
see the following reference.
R. Span, "Multiparameter Equation of State" (Springer-Verlag, Berlin,
2000)
Q. Why is the EOS adopted?
Recommended by
IAPWS or
IUPAC.
Published in
Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data.
All parameters of the equations are described in its own paper, not
cited.
Validity of the equations is intensively investigated for the
comparison with the experimental data.
Tabulated values are described for the verification.
Among the equations satisfying all or some of the above reasons, the
newest ones are adopted.
Q. Can the properties of mixture be calculated?
No. These are not simple problems assuming the mixture
ratio.
Maybe in the narrower temperature and density ranges, several papers
have been reported.
Q. Why are not the extrapolated
values shown?
That is the avoiding the responsibility of the authors.
The error messages cannot be noticed necessarily when the values are
obtained.
So, the values with fault are used possibly.
The author is most worried about making tables. In this case, the
error messages pass thorough in a flash and are not recognized.
So, the above possibility of the fault is much larger.
Please give me your opinion for solving the above problem.
Q. The table looks bad.
Tables are consists of the tab-delimited text. So the table is
not friendly for the text editors like Notepad.
The software for analysis of data can load such a file and justify the
data set, e.g. Excel.
Q. Blanks or messages are outputted in a table.
When the errors occur for unappropriate parameters, this
program outputs a blank or an error message.
These results are same as ones obtained by clicking "Calculate" with
the respective parameters.
Q. There is only 1 row or column, when a TYPE I table is
made. In addition, the table of the pressure and temperature is
made although the density and temperature are set.
You select melting pressure, saturation pressure, saturation
density, or second virial coefficient, don't you?
These are dependent only on temperature. Pressure or density
dependence is meaningless.
So, this program is automatically set the temperature and pressure (the
critical pressure is set), when the tables of the above properties are
made.
Q. An error occurs in loading a file, when a TYPE II table is
made.
Make sure that the text file is a tab-delimited text of an n*2
matrix.
Refer to the sample text (t2_samp.txt).
Make sure whether the incorrect lines are included.
Q. I like to make an enormous table as large as the wallpaper
of the room.
The maximum number of row and column is 2048,
respectively.
You should connect the divided tables.
Q. This program is opened to the public as a freeware. Is
that right? This is based on the papers you cited.
I do not know the copyrights or some related laws very much. But
I hear that the copyrights of the binary file, source code and so on
are protected for the program.
Because I made this program from scratch with considering the reference
coding (not borrowing, at least), no problem is that
I
claimed that I hold copyrights of this program (which means the
copyrights of the source code and so on, to be protected).
In addition, do not misunderstand the meaning of "free."
The meaning of "free" means only "free of
charge."
Distribution and reproduction are also restricted.
Q. Is this program going to be a shareware?
No. It is because
that:
This is prevailed faster and all users are happier.
The payment procedure bothers the users and even the author.
I do not know the appropriate price, although I believe that the value
is high.
If so, I have to fix the bugs or compensate the damages by this
program, maybe.
If so, strict application of the laws for copyright is demanded.
But I do not
reject your chip or contribution!
If you wish to pay it,
please contact the author.
Q. Can I distribute this program?
Yes, you can distribute only the original
zip archive file without alteration.
In addition, when you distribute it by the website or the mass
media, you should request the authorization by
contacting
the author.
Q. Do this program work on Windows other than Japanese
version? You are Japanese.
Several responses have received. Probably this program
works.
(The author recieved first responses from abroad by Dr.
Gary Combes, Thanks!)
If not,
contact the author as soon as
possible.
Q. I want to use this program on Mac or Linux.
You can't. I am sorry for your inconvenient. This program
works only
on Windows. (Emulator? I do
not
know it)
I only think that this program will be developed on CUI, with Java,
etc., etc..., but these ideas are not realized now.
