             DESCRIPTION
****************************************
Thermophysical Property Explorer
Version 1.0

Written by Daniel McArthur
April 2014

Overview:
This application provides quick and easy access to the thermophysical
properties listed in Appendix A.4-7 of Fundamentals of Heat and Mass
Transfer, 7th ed. by Bergman et al. Property values for temperatures
not specifically listed in the tables are calculated based on simple
linear interpolation.

Once at least one value has been calculated on the Property Calculator
page, clicking on any column will bring up a column chart, providing a
vibrant visual comparison of the material properties for each of the
materials/temperatures listed. On the Tables page, clicking on any
column will bring up a plot of that material property vs. temperature.

Key Features:
 -- Table format displays multiple calculated properties simultaneously
 -- Animated charts compare properties for different materials
 -- Animated plots help visualize how properties change with temperature
 -- 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
****************************************
1) 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 the application
    -- On a local file system:
        open 'index.html' in a web browser (Google Chrome for best results)
    -- On a web server:
        Go to the URL of the TPE folder (same as example above in part 2)

             INSTRUCTIONS
****************************************
NOTE: These instructions may also be found in the application by clicking "Help" in
      the top right corner of the screen
      
 Calculating Properties:
 -- Select a material from the dropdown
 -- Enter a temperature
 -- Click Calculate or press the Enter key
        A new row is added to the table with the desired properties

Graphing Properties:
 -- Hover the mouse over the column of the material property to be graphed
 -- Click the left mouse button and a graph will appear comparing the listed materials/temperatures
        Hover over points or bars on the chart to see their exact values
        To remove a material from the chart, click the material's name in the legend.
        To exit the graph, press Escape, OR click outside the plot area

Removing Lines From the Calculated Properties Table:
 -- Hover the mouse over the temperature column of the row to be deleted
 -- Click the left mouse button and the row will be removed from the table
        To remove all lines, click Clear at the top left corner of the table

Viewing the Complete Thermophysical Property Tables:
 -- Click the Tables link on the navigation bar at the top of the screen
 -- Click on a table name or material name to be taken to the corresponding table,
        OR, scroll down to view the tables
 -- To return to the Property Calculator, click the Calculator link at the top of the screen
 
**Note: Depending on screen width, it may be necessary to scroll left/right inside
        the property table to view all of the properties.
