The *.mexw64 files in this folder are wrappers of CoolProp for 64-bit MATLAB on Windows The *.mexw32 files in this folder are wrappers of CoolProp for 32-bit MATLAB on Windows You can tell what type of MATLAB you have when you start up MATLAB. It will say on the splash screen

Place them somewhere on the MATLAB path, or add their containing folder to the MATLAB path.

For Users

There is an example file called MATLAB_sample.m that when run will demonstrate calling both Props (for fluid properties) and HAProps(for humid air properties)

Due to the poor integration of MATLAB and C/C++ code, the wrapper for MATLAB is a mess compared with other languages, and does not follow the semantics of the other languages.

The "normal" calls of Props(Ref,Output) and Props(Output,Name1,Val1,Name2,Val2,Fluid) work just like the other wrappers. Here is a summary of the other hacky things that have been added to the MATLAB wrapper:

For a given fluid, you can use one of the following types of calls to get the given output:

Props(Fluid,'aliases') : Returns a comma separated string of aliases for a given fluid
Props(Fluid,'CAS') : Returns CAS code for the given fluid
Props(Fluid,'ASHRAE34') : Returns ASHRAE 34 safety code
Props(Fluid,'REFPROPName') : Returns REFPROP name for fluid
Props(Fluid,'TTSE_mode') : Returns TTSE mode, one of 'TTSE' or 'BICUBIC'
Props(Fluid,'enable_TTSE') : Turn on tabular interpolation for a given fluid
Props(Fluid,'disable_TTSE') : Turn on tabular interpolation for a given fluid

Or you can get a global constant using a call like:

Props('FluidsList') : Returns a comma separated string of fluids in CoolProp
Props('version') : Returns the version of Coolprop in Use
Props('gitrevision') : Returns the git revision
Props('set_UNIT_SYSTEM_SI') : Set the unit system to SI units
Props('set_UNIT_SYSTEM_KSI') : Set the unit system to kilo-SI units
Props('get_unit_system') : Get the unit system in use, one of 'UNIT_SYSTEM_SI' or 'UNIT_SYSTEM_KSI'

For Developers

To build the mex files on windows, you should enter these commands at the command prompt:

git clone https://github.com/ibell/coolprop coolprop-code
cd coolprop-code/wrappers/MATLAB
matlab -r MATLABBuilder.m

You will need to have git installed (google it). You will also need a compiler installed (Visual studio express works). You might need to run mex -setup to select the compiler

On OSX/Linux, the same idea. Do this:

git clone https://github.com/ibell/coolprop coolprop-code
cd coolprop-code/wrappers/MATLAB
# Change line 6 MATLABBuilder_OSX.m according to instructions in file.
matlab -r MATLABBuilder_OSX.m
