Project 1 - Parsing NASA thermodynamic data
Aim:1.To write a function to extract 14 co-efficients and program for calculation of specific heat,entropy,enthalpy from given file.
2.Calculate molecular weight of each species.
3.Plot a graph for specific heat,enthalpy,entropy for temperature for each species.
Theory:File parsing in matlab in general ,the term parsing refers to MATLAB reading an m-file(script or function) and translate it into an internal code that it stores in memory.It is 'parsed' file in memory that is actually run when execute the code.
Here we extract the data from thermodynamic data file and calculate the enthalpy,entropy specific heat for all the species in file and also calculate molecular weight.
1.Enthalpy:It is a thermodynamic property,and it is the sum of internal energy of system and product of its pressure and volume.It is denoted by "H".
H=E+PV
where, E=internal energy
P=pressure
V=volume
H=enthalpy
but in terms of NASA THERMODYNAMIC POLYNOMIAL FORMULATE AS:
H/RT = a1 + a2 T /2 + a3 T^2 /3 + a4 T^3 /4 + a5 T^4 /5 + a6/T
2.Entropy:It is a thermodynamic function,it is the measure of system thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.It is denoted by "S"
S=q/T
where S=entropy
q=thermal energy
T=temperature.
but in terms of NASA THERMODYNAMIC POLYNOMIAL FORMULATE AS:
S/R = a1 lnT + a2 T + a3 T^2 /2 + a4 T^3 /3 + a5 T^4 /4 + a7
3.Specific heat:It is a thermodynamic property,the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one celcius degree. It is denote by Cp.
Cp = Q/m*▲T
where, Q=heat energy
m=mass
▲T=change in temperature
but in terms of NASA THERMODYNAMIC POLYNOMIAL FORMULATE AS:
Cp/R = a1 + a2 T + a3 T^2 + a4 T^3 + a5 T^4
4.Molecular weight:The weight in atomic mass units of each of the atoms in a given formula is the molecular weight of a substance.

code explanation:
first of all we will make path for program to extract the all data of thermo.dat file.

after that first confirm that your thermo.dat file save in same path of program folder
