Hi,

I'm trying to tabulate the Joule-Thomson coefficient for natural gas using Coolprop.
I will settle for properties on methane as an approximation.
Honestly I don't know where to start. Do I have to derive it somehow? Or is it an output option? If someone could give me a formula I'd be super-grateful. 

Thanks in advance,
Cam

Hi Cam, the good news is that the Joule-Thomson coefficient is not too complicated to define: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule%E2%80%93Thomson_effect#The_Joule.E2.80.93Thomson_.28Kelvin.29_coefficient 

And then you can get the Joule-Thomson coefficient from the single-phase derivative: http://www.coolprop.org/coolprop/HighLevelAPI.html#partial-derivatives .  Your call would be:

PropsSI('d(T)/d(P)|Hmass','P',101325,'T',300,'Water')

Thanks so much, Ian! Works like a charm.
