B.4 Homework 4

ChE 316 – Chem Eng. Fluid Mechanics – Spring 2024

DUE 5 Feb 2024

Getting Started: Here is the code to import the pint, CoolProp, numpy, sympy, and matplotlib modules to get you started.

try:
    import pint
except:
    !pip install pint
    import pint
finally:
    ur = pint.UnitRegistry()

try:
    import CoolProp.CoolProp as CP
except:
    !pip install CoolProp
    import CoolProp.CoolProp as CP

# we need numpy for constants like pi
# https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/constants.html
import numpy as np

# we often use sympy to solve equations
import sympy as sp

# for plotting we need
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# For nice plotting I include ...
plt.rcParams['mathtext.default'] = 'rm'
plt.rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'stix'
plt.rcParams['font.family'] = 'Times New Roman'
