Built by Rafael Netto — mechanical engineer (MSc, thermal sciences), 15 years designing, selling and operating industrial boilers. Currently managing a seven-boiler biomass fleet at a multinational, where every retrofit, derate and reliability call has become a stress-test for the tools you see here. Dynamica started as the toolkit I needed at my own day job.
We started Dynamica because the daily work of a thermal engineer still happens in a thicket of spreadsheets, printed steam tables and uncited PDF calculators. Each one is almost right. Together they slow down the design review and leave the next engineer with no audit trail.
Our mission is plain: give practicing engineers the cleanest possible interface to the equations they already know, and cite the source on every result. No magic numbers, no hidden correlations, no “premium” unit conversions.
Every property routine is implemented from the originating standard, not adapted from another package. We test against the published reference tables at every release and publish the residuals alongside the changelog.
User input is in real engineering units, with the option to switch presentation between SI and US customary without re-entering data. Results carry their uncertainty band where the standard defines one.
Disagree with an implementation choice? Write to us — we read every note and publish the discussion in our field notes.
