# Critical State Properties of Fluids Using Cantera
This repository contains Python code that calculates and prints the critical state properties of various fluids using Cantera's built-in liquid/vapor equations of state.
## Overview
The critical state properties, including critical temperature, critical pressure, and compressibility factor, are vital for understanding the thermodynamic behavior of fluids in various engineering applications. This project provides a straightforward way to access these properties for several common fluids.
## Features
- **Fluids Supported**: Calculates critical properties for multiple fluids, including water, nitrogen, methane, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, heptane, and HFC-134a.
- **Easy to Use**: Simply run the script to obtain the critical state properties for the selected fluids.
## Requirements
To run this code, you need:
- Python 3.x
- Cantera library installed
You can install Cantera using pip:
```bash
pip install cantera
```
## Getting Started
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/iammohith/Critical-State-Properties-of-Fluids-Using-Cantera.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd Critical-State-Properties-of-Fluids-Using-Cantera
```
3. Run the script:
```bash
python critical_state_properties.py
```
## Example Output
Upon running the script, you will see output similar to the following:
```
