📦 Installation

npm install @sctg/aga8-js

💻 Quick Start

import { AGA8wasm, type GasMixture } from '@sctg/aga8-js';

// Initialize AGA8 module
const AGA8 = await AGA8wasm();
AGA8.SetupGERG();

// Define gas mixture (94% methane, 5% CO2, 1% helium)
const mixture: GasMixture = {
    methane: 0.94,
    nitrogen: 0,
    carbon_dioxide: 0.05,
    ethane: 0,
    propane: 0,
    isobutane: 0,
    n_butane: 0,
    isopentane: 0,
    n_pentane: 0,
    n_hexane: 0,
    n_heptane: 0,
    n_octane: 0,
    n_nonane: 0,
    n_decane: 0,
    hydrogen: 0,
    oxygen: 0,
    carbon_monoxide: 0,
    water: 0,
    hydrogen_sulfide: 0,
    helium: 0.01,
    argon: 0
}

// Calculate properties
const molarMass = AGA8.MolarMassGERG(mixture);
const { D: density } = AGA8.DensityGERG(0, 400, 50000, mixture);
const properties = AGA8.PropertiesGERG(400, density, mixture);

console.log('Results:', {
  molarMass: `${molarMass.toFixed(4)} g/mol`,
  density: `${density.toFixed(4)} mol/L`,
  compressibility: properties.Z.toFixed(6),
  soundSpeed: `${properties.W.toFixed(2)} m/s`
});
