Enthalpy Calculation with UDF
 

Hi, I have formed a UDF file in order to calculate the specific heat and enthalpy for a supercritical C02 flow, which are functions of temperature. Although compiling and running the following file is successful, I am taking some floating point exception errors after some iteration period. I would like to be grateful if you could share your recommendation about my code. Regards,
