Thermodynamics

Thermodynamic properties and state calculations.

Thermodynamics: properties, cycles, and state analysis.

class mechlab.thermodynamics.State

Bases: object

Represents a thermodynamic state of a pure substance.

Usage:

>>> from mechlab.thermodynamics import State
>>> water = State("water", T=373.15, P=101325)
>>> print(f"Enthalpy: {water.h:.2f} J/kg")

Expected Output:

Enthalpy: 2675529.15 J/kg

The state is defined by two independent intensive properties. Internal logic handles phase detection (Subcooled, Saturated, Superheated).
