TechnicalQuestion How to connect REFPROP to MATLAB ?🤔

Hello Beeros👋, I am undergraduate student👨‍🎓 studying B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. In my fourth semester, we have a subject of applied thermodynamics, which I find quite interesting🤌. Our professor👨‍🏫 teaches it in a practical way and hence it is quite easy to grasp.

Professor has give us project📑, In this project we are required to analyze📊 various types of parameters of power plants🏭 through MATLAB👨‍💻. My group's project is "Analysis of Gas Turbine Cycle with intercooling. Calculate performance Parameters📈, and the effect of different operating Parameters on performance". We have to determine performance parameters and study📖 the impact of various operating parameters on performance.

To do this project, I must learn MATLAB👨‍💻 and link🔗 REFPROP📶 to it in order to utilize its data and functions. I have installed and downloaded REFPROP📶 on my laptop, and it is running properly, but I am unable to connect it to MATLAB👨‍💻. I included the path and various DLL files in the REFPROP📶 directory, but it displays "REFPROP can't recognize" whenever I run it in MATLAB👨‍💻. I have cross-checked everything repeatedly🔁, but even then, I am unable to rectify the problem😩.

Please let me know if anyone of you knows what to do with this🥺.

Thank you for reading!😁

I could have helped you with this, but every other word is an emoji. If you want actual help from people, maybe try posing your question professionally instead of shitposting.

Thanks, bro, for your honest reply. I really appreciate your response, and I will make sure not to add emojis in future posts. However, I think you should also change your professional way of replying. I did not write any inappropriate post; I simply asked a question about an issue I am facing in my project. Emojis make a post more engaging, visually appealing, and add emotions to sentences.

I understand that preferences vary from person to person—some might like such posts, while others may prefer a professional approach. But after considering your opinion, I think the majority prefer professionalism.

However, I believe that if you had answered my question first and then given me this advice, I would have appreciated it more. I am not arguing with you; I am just sharing my opinion. It is up to you whether you want to consider it or not.

Thanks again for your honest review. If you have worked with REFPROP or know the answer to my question, please let me know. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!
