Clapeyron.jl — The Complete Guide: Equations of State and Phase Equilibria in Julia
Clapeyron.jl is a Julia package for developing and using thermodynamic models of liquids and gases. It suits chemical engineers and researchers who need to choose and compare thermodynamic models, or build a new one.

Equations of state in Julia — SAFT, cubic, activity and COSMO-SAC models for phase equilibria and fluid properties.

- Cubic equations of state — the familiar models of the process industry.
- The SAFT family — for more complex systems.
- Activity models and COSMO-SAC — for non-ideal solutions.
- Multi-parameter equations — for accurate properties of pure substances.
- Calculations — vapour-liquid equilibrium, phase envelopes, Pxy and pT diagrams and heat capacity.
What to know
Work is done in code only, with no graphical interface. Python users can use the pyclapeyron package. The advantage: you can swap a model in one line and compare results on the same system. It is licensed under MIT, commercial work included.
