Power Plant Performance Engineering
GPCALCS™ v6.0 Student Edition
Aiming to provide students with the tools they need to succeed, GP Strategies offers the GPCALCS
v6.0 Student Edition.
Using this set of reference tools, students will no longer have to search through
endless numbers of books. You will have a handy reference library
containing the latest periodic table of elements and psychometric calculator, along
with a unit conversion library with hundreds of automatic
engineering unit conversion calculations.
In addition, we include access to the 1967 and 1997 ASME steam property formulations
with an interactive Mollier diagram (GPSteam™ properties calculator)
and the GPSteam library DLL in Excel. Lastly, the student edition contains a
gas and gas mixture properties calculator tool.
Arm students with the tools they need to succeed.
GP Strategies offers four of our most convenient tools to students at a significant cost savings
over our standard edition.
The GP Strategies handy reference library workbook contains the following information:
- Periodic table of elements
- Properties of commercial pipe
- Typical coal/fuel oil/natural gas analyses
- HHV to LHV conversion
- Gas properties data (over 200 gases)
- Psychometric calculator
- Engineering unit conversion utility
- GPSteam library function
Unit conversions are provided for automatic engineering unit conversions (both English
and metric) for user inputs as well as any calculated values using the GP Strategies units
conversion utility. The Excel add-in eliminates the need to manually search through
unit conversion tables.
GPSteam—also available as a stand-alone product —provides
a convenient means of obtaining thermodynamic properties of water and steam (English
or metric) over a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
This tool calculates real gas properties of gases and gas mixtures. Given pressure,
temperature, and composition, the calculator provides the following properties based
on a user-selectable equation of state:
- Specific volume
- Enthalpy
- Entropy
- Specific heat
- Vapor pressure
- Compressibility
- Isentropic exponent (ratio of specific heats)
Additionally, a second point can be entered and the calculator will calculate the
polytropic head (work), exponent, and efficiency for a compression or expansion
process. Gas property values are provided in Excel through the GPGas library DLL.
Available equations of state are the ideal gas, Peng-Robinson (PR), Benedict-Webb-Rubin
(BWR), Starling modification of BWR (BWRS), and the Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong
(RKS).
