Summary description: Thermodynamic calculations and diagrams in LuaTeX via the CoolProp shared library
Announcement text:
This package was vibe-coded with the assistance of ChatGPT. AI-generated code and thermodynamic results require independent review; the README and manual warn users accordingly. Full --shell-escape is required for the LuaTeX FFI mechanism and can execute arbitrary commands with the user permissions, so only trusted documents should be compiled. The upload ZIP contains a browsable luacoolprop/ tree and a separate luacoolprop.tds.zip at its root. CoolProp source and binary files are external dependencies and are not included.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luacoolprop More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/luacoolprop
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

Luacoolprop – Thermodynamic calculations and diagrams in LuaTeX via the CoolProp shared library
LuaCoolProp is a format-generic LuaTeX package for thermodynamic calculations and pure-fluid PH, PV, TS, HS, and PT diagrams with PGFPlots. It uses an externally installed CoolProp shared library through LuaTeX FFI. The package provides LaTeX, plain TeX, and ConTeXt frontends and includes the autonomous pgfplots-autonode library for automatic curve labels.
