PROJECT DESCRIPTIONDesigned and programmed an application that calculates thermophysical property values and incorporates graphs and charts to help visualize the information.

MOTIVATION• Want a way to visualize how the material properties change with
temperature, and visualize the differences between different materials
• Want to be able to calculate properties for several materials & temperatures and see them all simultaneously
• Want values given in standard SI units to prevent computational errorso (e.g. Display cp= 1.25e3 J/kg•K instead of cp= 1.25 kJ/kg•K)
• Want a property calculator that can be accessed online rather than requiring a downloado If a download is preferred (for offline access), want a cross-platform
solution to work on any OS

KEY FEATURES• Table format displays multiple calculated properties simultaneously

KEY FEATURES• Pure HTML/Javascript; code can run on a server, or locally on any OS
• Properties listed in standard SI units to help avoid computational errors
• All data stored in JSON so it can be updated/edited easily

SETUP INSTRUCTIONS① Download and unzip the TPE folder
② Place the TPE folder in a known path on your web server or local file system• (e.g. http://students.cs.byu.edu/~danielrm/TPE)
③ Open index.html in a web browser (Google Chrome for best results)
