Calculation of thermodynamic state variables of air

lower limit for calculation: -150 C, 1 bar      upper limit: 1000 C, 1000 bar

Pressure:
Temperature:

The following thermodynamic properties will be calculated:
density, dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, specific isobar heat capacity cp, thermic conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, heat conductance, thermal diffusivity, Prandtl-number, coefficient of compressibility Z.
