`lbh15` is a Python package that provides function correlations for the physical
properties of the liquid metals used as coolant in GEN-IV liquid metal fast
reactors (*LMFR*), such as those cooled by molten lead, bismuth and their
reactors (*LMFR*), such as those cooled by molten lead and lead-bismuth
eutectic alloy. The package implements the correlations contained in the
reference handbook edited by OECD/NEA [@nea], also offering the possibility of
adding new customized properties with minimal effort for the user. The

`lbh15` follows a different implementation approach.

The efficiency and the effectiveness are assured by the *Object-Oriented*
and the *Dynamic Programming* approaches, that have been applied throughout
and the *Dynamic Loading* approaches, that have been applied throughout
the entire development process. `lbh15` relies on the abstract liquid metal
class: all classes describing the different metals inherit from it. The
abstract class does not implement directly the property correlations, but

a liquid metal object to access its related properties, or by instantiating
an object for each specific property. The former approach provides one
single entry point to all the liquid metal properties, which are evaluated
at the specified thermo-dynamic state after checking its validity with
respect to the validity range of the properties themselves
