Version 9.0 updated its natural gas calculations to the GERG-2008 standard, making it indispensable for the energy and petroleum industries. Expansion of Fluids:
Although REFPROP 9.0 was designed for a standard installation, its file structure allows for a pseudo-portable operation. 1. Utilizing the "Mini-REFPROP" Approach

When calling REFPROP from Python (via wrappers like ctypes or CoolProp ) or MATLAB, you must explicitly define the path to your portable DLL inside your script: (viscosity, thermal conductivity) for most fluids
A version of software designed by its developers to run from a USB drive or a folder without requiring installation and without leaving configuration files on the host computer's registry.
It typically includes the REFPROP Graphical User Interface ( REFPRP.EXE ) and the Dynamic Link Library ( REFPROP.DLL ) required for Excel, Python, or MATLAB integration.
