EES

{!This is a demonstration version of EES. It will allow you to enter and solve up to
50 equations, but you will not be able to save, copy or print your file. The complete
program can solve thousands of equations. It includes a comprehensive manual,
many example problems, and responsive technical support.
The Commercial single-user version is $500 including one year of Instant Update
service. A Professional single-user version is $1,000, also including Instant Update
Service. The advantages of the Professional version are discussed on our web site,
fchart.com. Multi-user licenses are also available.
If you are a faculty member in an educational institution, your department may
obtain an Academic/Commercial license for EES for the one-time fee of $US1000.
The Academic/Professional license is also available to universities for a one-time
cost of $3750. Both licenses allow every student and faculty member in your
department to have a fully working copy. If your department has adopted one of
the McGraw-Hill textbooks that includes EES please contact your McGraw-Hill
representative for a free Academic/Commercial license.
If you are a student and think EES would be valuable to your education, show the
program to your professor. If you are taking a course using one of the McGraw-Hill
textbooks that comes with EES please check with your professor as your
department may already have an EES license.

EES (pronounced 'ease') is an acronym for Engineering Equation Solver. The basic
function provided by EES is the solution of a set of algebraic equations. EES can
efficiently solve thousands of coupled non-linear algebraic equations. EES can also
be used to solve initial value differential equations, do linear and non-linear
regression, unit conversion, unit consistency checking, optimization, and
uncertainty analysis, and produce publication-quality plots.
A major difference between EES and existing equation solving programs is the many
built-in mathematical and thermophysical property functions which EES provides.
For example, the steam tables are implemented such that any thermodynamic
property can be obtained from a built-in function call in terms of any two other
properties. Similar capability is provided many other fluids, e.g., ammonia, nitrogen,
methane, propane, all common refrigerants, e.g., R134a, R123, R143a and many
others. Air tables are built-in, as are psychrometric functions and NASA
thermodynamic property data for hundreds of substances. Transport property
functions are also provided. Thermophysical property functions operate in either SI

and English units. Additional property data may be added by the user and EES can
be optionally used with NIST property programs.
EES provides the capability to do parametric studies. Selected variables can be
included in a spreadsheet-like table. The user determines which variables are
independent by entering their values in the table cells. EES will solve the table to
determine the values of all dependent variables. A plotting option is provided to
display the relationship between any two variables in the table. The plot option also
provides property diagrams (such as pressure enthalpy or temperature-entropy)
diagrams, bar plots and contour plots in publication quality.
EES offers the advantages of a simple set of intuitive commands with which a
novice can quickly learn to use for solving numerical problems. The large data bank
of thermodynamic and transport properties built into EES are helpful in solving
problems in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Additional data
can be added by the user as functions (written in Pascal, C, FORTRAN, or EES) or in
a tabular form, which EES will automatically interpolate. EES provides unit
conversion and can optionally check all equations for unit consistency. As a result,
EES is can be used to solve problems in any engineering application.
Here is an example of two nonlinear equations with two unknowns that illustrate
how equations can be entered.
x^2+y^3=77
sqrt(X^2/(1+y^(1/3)))=2
