Steam Tables For Apple Computers

Click For Summary
A consulting engineer is seeking a steam table application compatible with macOS, as most available options are for PCs. They require a tool to determine saturation temperatures for various steam pressures and are open to paid applications. Suggestions include using VMware Fusion to run PC software, but the engineer's MacBook Pro lacks sufficient memory for this solution. Additionally, WolframAlpha is mentioned as a potential resource for steam table data, though its accuracy is uncertain. The discussion emphasizes the need for a reliable steam table application for Mac users.

I am a consulting engineer that frequently needs to determine the saturation temperature for various steam pressures. I use a mac computer. I have found many steam table calculator applications for PCs, but have been unable to find one that will run on the mac.

Can anyone point me to a downloadable steam table application for the mac? It need not be free, just compatible with the OSx operating system.

Can you not use something like VMware Fusion to run one of the PC based programs?

From the product description it looks like I could. If I understand what I read correctly, I would need 4 to 5 GB of free memory, the VMware application, a Windows operating system and the steam table application. My MacBook Pro only has 4 GB of memory, so this option is out if I am correct about the minimum requirements.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
