# libvisc
Implements Ubbelohde-Walther equation (ASTM D341) and  ASTM D2270 (Viscosity Index) implementation in C++

# INSTALL


    ./configure
    make
    make install

# Example

    #include "libvisc.h"
    #include <iostream>

    int main() {

        using namespace std;
        
        /* Initializing the lubricant with label, viscosity @ 40 and viscosity at 100 */
        Lubricant lube("Paraffinic spindle oil", 30, 5.23);

        cout << "vi = " << lube.vi() << endl;
        cout << "Viscosity @ 50C is " << lube.visc(50) << endl;
        cout << "Viscosity @ 0C is " << lube.visc(0) << endl;
        cout << "V-T constant is " << lube.vtc() << endl;
        cout << "m constant is " << lube.m() << endl;

        return 0;
    }


For more information look into libvisc.h as well as example.cpp, which generates
a sample data. To compile this file, after *./configure* run *make example*.
Then run generated executable *example* (or *example.exe*)

# COMPILE

Once *livisc* is installed you can link the library to your source code like so:

    g++ your_prog.cpp -lvisc
    
To set a non-standart library path:

    g++ -L"path/to/lib" your_prog.cpp -lvisc
