aqso_nacl: new software to characterise p-t-v-x properties of phases in the binary h2o-nacl system

The program aqso_nacl has been developed to calculate p-t-v-x properties in the h2o-nacl fluid system applied to fluid inclusion research and pore fluid calculation. the software aqso_nacl can be used to characterise the properties of phases that may exist in the binary h2o-nacl system up to 1000˚c and 500 mpa. the model replaces all available correlation equations and other equation of state that are restricted to narrow temperature, pressure, and composition intervals. the numerous calculation possibilities in the h2o-nacl system have been integrated within a stand-alone computer program 'aqso_nacl', that is included in the software package 'fluids'. the stand-alone program 'aqso_nacl' has been developed for macintosh, windows and linux, using basic with xojo and realbasic software.
