Calculation of fluid properties for Tetrafluoroethane (R134a) in the fluid region of 0.0039 bar (Triple pressure) to 700 bar and 169.85 Kelvin (Triple temperature) to 455 Kelvin.

Restriction

The functions provided by this package shall be used inside of the restricted limits according to the referenced literature.

• 0.0039 bar ≤ p ≤ 700 bar
• 169.85 Kelvin ≤ T ≤ 455 Kelvin
• explicit for pressure and specific enthalpy
