(http://fchart.com)
• Demo version can be acquired free from
http://fchart.com/ees/demo.php
• Licensing and ordering information can obtained from
http://fchart.com/ees/ and http://fchart.com/ees/order.php
• Single user license fee: $600-$1200
• Download software and presentation from
https://goo.gl/U9s8Ud (Disconnect internet while using EES)
Environment
“Menu”
“Toolbar”
“Equations window”
Remember, EES is case-insensitive

i.e. ABC = abc = AbC = Abc…
Solving linear equation

Example:
X+3=5
To obtain solution:
[Menu] Calculate > Solve

Press “F2” key
Solving linear equation

Example:
X+3=5
Solution Window:
Solving polynomial
Example: 3𝐻2 − 4𝐻 − 5 = 0
3*H^2 - 4*H - 5 = 0
Solution Window:
Solving system of equations

Example:
X + Y = 10
X - 2*Y = 5
X + Z = 10 - Y
X - 2*Y = 5
X=4-Z
What about this?

X + Y + Z = 10
X+Y=0 ERROR!
Remember, number of variables = number of equations!
Solving system of equations

Example:
Calculate volume of cylinder where radius is 10 m and

height = 12 m (using 𝑉 = 𝜋𝑅2 𝐻)
V = pi * (R^2) * H
R = 10
H = 12
Calculate radius of cylinder where height is 10 m and

volume = 3000 m3 (using 𝑉 = 𝜋𝑅2 𝐻)
V = pi * (R^2) * H
H = 10 𝑅= 𝑉 Τ𝜋𝐻
V = 3000
Exercise
A piston cylinder device initially contains 0.4m3 of air at
100kPa and 80°C. The air is now compressed to 0.1m3 in
such a way that the temperature inside the cylinder
remains constant. Determine the work done during this
process.

V1 = 0.4
P1 = 100
T1 = 80
V2 = 0.1
Wb = (P1*V1)*ln(V2/V1)
Units and conversion

Convert statement is used to do unit conversion:
Convert ( from-unit , to-unit )

Right-click and
Try: select “Units list”
A = 30*Convert(ft,m)
B = 10*Convert(MJ, kJ)
C = 100*Convert(kJ/kg,BTU/lbm)
Solution:
Note: Unit to each variable is automatically assigned.

Exercise
Convert 3 bar/kW to kPa/J

ERROR!
a = 3*convert(bar/kW,kPa/J)
Remember, always convert into consistent units.
Convert 3 bar/kW to kPa.s/J

a = 3*convert(bar/kW,kPa*s/J)
Units and conversion: Temperature

ConvertTemp statement is used to do unit conversion
between degree centigrade (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F):
ConvertTEMP ( from-unit , to-unit, value)

Try:
TheF = ConvertTEMP(C,F,30) "Convert 30 deg. C to deg. F"
TheC = ConvertTEMP(F,C,100) "Convert 100 deg. F to deg. C"

Exercise
What is the
temperature of
water/steam at
11 MPa and
internal energy
of 2920 kJ/kg?
Exercise
What is the enthalpy of water/steam at 100 ⁰C and 50 kPa?
Solution:
ℎ𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 = ℎ 𝑇=100℃,𝑃=50𝑘𝑃𝑎
Tw = 100
Pw = 50
hw = enthalpy(Steam,T=Tw,P=Pw)
hw = enthalpy(Steam,T=100,P=50)
Exercise
What is the specific volume of water/steam at 100 ⁰C and 50
kPa?
Solution:
𝑣𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 𝑣𝑇=100℃,𝑃=50𝑘𝑃𝑎
v = volume(Steam,T=100,P=50)
Exercise
A rigid tank contains 50 kg of saturated liquid water at 90
⁰C. Determine pressure in the tank and volume of tank.
Pw=Pressure(Steam,T=90,x=0)
Vw = 50*Volume(Steam, T=90,x=0)
Exercise
A mass of 200 gm of saturated liquid water is completely
vaporized at a constant pressure of 100 kPa. Determine
the volume change and the amount of energy added to
water.
m = 200/1000
x1 = 0
x2 = 1
Pw = 100
V1 = volume(Steam, P=Pw, x=x1)

V2 = volume(Steam, P=Pw, x=x2)
V = m*(V2-V1)
h1 = enthalpy(Steam, P=Pw, x=x1)

h2 = enthalpy(Steam, P=Pw, x=x2)
H = m*(h2-h1)
Exercise: Rankine Cycle

Consider a steam power plant operating on a simple ideal
Rankine cycle. Steam enters the turbine at 3 MPa and
350⁰C and is condensed in a condenser at a pressure of
75kPa. Determine the thermal efficiency of this cycle.
Exercise: Rankine Cycle

P1 = 75
T1 =TEMPERATURE(Steam,P=P1,x=0)
h1 = ENTHALPY(Steam,T=T1,P=P1)
v1 = VOLUME(Steam,P=P1,x=0)
P2 = 3*convert(MPa,kPa)
Wp = v1*(P2-P1)
h2 = h1 + Wp
P3 = P2 qin = h3 - h2
T3 = 350 qout = h4 - h1
h3 = ENTHALPY(Steam,T=T3,P=P3) eta = 1-qout/qin
s3 = ENTROPY(Steam,T=T3,P=P3)
P4 = P1
s4 = s3
h4 = ENTHALPY(Steam,s=s4,P=P4)
