coolprop-node/test/R744.F.test.js

A Node.js wrapper for CoolProp providing an easy-to-use interface for thermodynamic calculations and refrigerant properties. Unlike all the other CoolProp npm packages I've seen, this one should actually work. Please report any issues.

const coolprop = require('../src/index.js');
