forsus

Pure chemical compounds database and general API.

forsus provides a simple API to read json files containing pure component information and later on use it inside other projects.

The basics

Using forsus in your Fortran project is relatively simple:

All the readable parameters are kept on a Substance object, from which they can be later on extracted.

It keeps a global variable forsus_dir with should be the path of your database file directory. data/json is the directory that the library uses by default.

program main
    use forsus

    type(Substance) :: s

    ! This will use the default path
    s = Substance("1-butanol")

    ! This will use the defined path
    forsus_dir = "my/json/files"
    s = Substance("1-butanol")

    ! It is also possible to use a custom path
    sus = Substance("1-butanol", path="the/json/is/here")

    ! Show the critical temperature
    print *, sus%critical%critical_temperature%value
end program
