Get freedom from your phone’s obvious limitations. Use Thermonator – Thermodynamics & steam tables, made by Xmuzzers Thermodynamics, a Education app on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, and level up your experience.
Thermonator – Thermodynamics & steam tables feels like a proper thermodynamics toolbox, not a flashy thing, just clean and very direct. It lets someone set up states, processes, and full cycles, then it churns out the stuff that actually matters in homework or design, things like pressure, temperature, volume, enthalpy, entropy, exergy, quality, and all the usual saturated properties. There are presets for classic cycles, so building a Carnot, Otto, Diesel, Dual mixed, Stirling, Joule Brayton, or Rankine loop takes way less time than doing it by hand, and it will do both power and refrigeration Rankine. Some of the more advanced cycle options and refrigerants sit behind extra features, but the core set is strong. Units are flexible across metric and imperial, so no awkward conversions mid-problem.
What stands out is how configurable it is. A user can choose control mass or control volume, pick the First Law sign convention so work matches whatever a class or book uses, and even set ambient conditions and a reference state for exergy so results line up with a given table. It supports steam and water plus a long list of fluids, from air, ammonia, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen, to hydrocarbons like methane and propane, several refrigerants like R134a, ideal gases, and the noble gases. The interactive charts are handy, pressure-volume, temperature-entropy, enthalpy-entropy and more, with log or linear scales, quick zoom, and draggable rulers that actually feel useful when checking a point. BlueStacks on a PC makes those plots and big number fields way easier to read and tweak. There are small hints that pop up to remind formulas, which is nice when the brain is fried at midnight, and it tries to catch input errors rather than just throwing nonsense, which saves time and a bit of sanity.
