State-dependent properties for pure fluids and refrigerants require two states to calculate the value of a property. Valid combinations of states and properties are given in ThermophysicalData,Property, and a list of fluids are given in ThermophysicalData,fluids.
This example yields the specific heat capacity in J-1 kg-1 K-1 of ammonia at temperature 234 K and pressure 101325 Pa.

If no unit is specified, the input is assumed to have SI units, and the output is given in SI units.
You can also associate units with the states. By default, results are given in the current unit system.

You can rescale the result to arbitrary (but dimensionally consistent) units. Just right-click on the result and then select Units Formatting....

You can also generate PHT charts. Chart properties (for example, the location of the isotherms, pressure ranges, and enthalpy ranges) can be customized.
Thermodynamic cycles can be visualized by placing plot objects on these charts. For example, see the Refrigeration Cycle application.
