GUI

The database, a large csv file, and can be incredibly difficult to navigate and extract the desired information. Therefore, a graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to allow user’s of the database to more easily explore, calculate and extract thermophysical properties of salts present in the database.  The GUI is developed in python, but is backed by Saline (insert saline hyperlink to page), a c++ API.

The GUI allows the user to perform a wide variety of actions including:

• Browse or search for salts present in the database. Salts can be filtered out based on number of salt species or what thermo-physical properties have been measured for a given salt
• Calculate thermo-physical properties for selected salts at a specific temperature for density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity.
• Plot thermal physical properties for selected salts over a given temperature range.

The GUI is currently enabled for windows systems. If you would like to download a beta version of this GUI, please contact mstdb@ornl.gov.
