What is ThermoSTEAM?

ThermoSTEAM is a standalone thermodynamic engine capable of estimating mixture properties, solving thermodynamic phase equilibria, and modeling stoichiometric reactions. ThermoSTEAM builds upon chemicals, the chemical properties component of the Chemical Engineering Design Library, with a robust and flexible framework that facilitates the creation of property packages. The Biorefinery Simulation and Techno-Economic Analysis Modules (BioSTEAM) is dependent on ThermoSTEAM for the simulation of unit operations.

Installation

Get the latest version of ThermoSTEAM from PyPI. If you have an installation of Python with pip, simple install it with:

$ pip install thermosteam

To get the git version and install it, run:

$ git clone --depth 100 git://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/thermosteam
$ cd thermosteam
$ pip install .

We use the depth option to clone only the last 100 commits. Thermosteam has a long history, so cloning the whole repository (without using the depth option) may take over 30 min.

If you would like to clone all branches, add the “–no-single-branch” flag as such:

$ git clone --depth 100 --no-single-branch git://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/thermosteam
