swEOS: salt- water (NaCl-H2O) Equation of State

What it is: An extensible code written in C++ to support research in using EOS and thermodynamic properties of H2O-NaCl system in both p-T-X and p-H-X coordinate space.
Motivation: To provide easy-to-use application, library and API for cross-platforms and programing languages. The users can implement their own research calculation using the library and APIs.

Welcome to the SaltWater EOS Docs! Here you’ll find resources for using SaltWater EOS and examples of what it can do.
