Calculate all other properties using the temperature and density as inputs (with the appropriate mole fractions for ammonia and water for either the liquid or vapor.) Use the ampersand in the special code "TD&" to indicate that phase equilibrium checks should not be performed, and that the properties should be calculated directly from the equation of state (EOS) regardless of phase. The special code only works for temperature and density since these are the independent properties in the EOS. If the ampersand is not used, the program attempts to find the phase boundary for each input, thus slowing down the process, and occasionally causing errors because of nonconvergence. The TD& input can be used for all single phase and saturation states. The ampersand should NOT be used for two-phase states, it will return properties for metastable states.
