Properties of Water

Description

Calculate thermodynamic and electrostatic properties of water.

Usage

  water(property = NULL, T = 298.15, P = "Psat", P1 = TRUE)
  water.SUPCRT92(property=NULL, T = 298.15, P = 1, P1 = TRUE)
  water.IAPWS95(property=NULL, T = 298.15, P = 1)
  water.DEW(property=NULL, T = 373.15, P = 1000)

Arguments

property

character, computational setting or property(s) to calculate

T

numeric, temperature (K)

P

numeric, pressure (bar), or ‘⁠Psat⁠’ for vapor-liquid saturation

P1

logical, output pressure of 1 bar below 100 °C instead of calculated values of ‘⁠Psat⁠’?

Details

These functions compute the thermodynamic (Gibbs energy and it derivatives) and electrostatic (dielectric constant and its derivatives) properties of liquid or supercritical H2O as a function of temperature and pressure using equations of state taken from the literature. The high-level function water performs different computations, depending on the setting of thermo()$opt$water:

⁠SUPCRT92⁠’ (default) or ‘⁠SUPCRT⁠

Thermodynamic and electrostatic properties are calculated using a FORTRAN subroutine taken from the SUPCRT92 software package (Johnson et al., 1992). See more information below.

⁠IAPWS95⁠’ or ‘⁠IAPWS⁠

Thermodynamic properties are calculated using an implementation in R code of the IAPWS-95 formulation (Wagner and Pruss, 2002), and electrostatic properties are calculated using the equations of Archer and Wang, 1990. See IAPWS95 and more information below.

⁠DEW⁠

Thermodynamic and electrostatic properties are calculated using the Deep Earth Water (DEW) model (Sverjensky et al., 2014). The defaults for T and P reflect the minimum values for applicability of the model; calculations at lower T and/or P points fall back to using ‘⁠SUPCRT92⁠’. See DEW.

Calling the function with no arguments returns the current computational setting. Use e.g. water("DEW") to make the setting; the previous setting (at the time of the function call) is returned invisibly. Subsequent calculations with water, or other functions such as subcrt and affinity, will use that setting.

The allowed propertys for water are one or more of those given below, depending on the computational setting; availability is shown by an asterisk. Note that some of the properties that can actually be calculated using the different formulations are not implemented here. Except for rho, the units are those used by Johnson and Norton, 1991.

Call water.SUPCRT92, water.IAPWS95, or water.DEW with no arguments to list the available properties.

water.SUPCRT92 interfaces to the FORTRAN subroutine taken from the SUPCRT92 package (H2O92D.F) for calculating properties of water. These calculations are based on data and equations of Levelt-Sengers et al., 1983, Haar et al., 1984, and Johnson and Norton, 1991, among others (see Johnson et al., 1992). A value of P set to ‘⁠Psat⁠’ refers to one bar below 100 °C, otherwise to the vapor-liquid saturation pressure at temperatures below the critical point (‘⁠Psat⁠’ is not available at temperatures above the critical point). water.SUPCRT92 provides a limited interface to the FORTRAN subroutine; some functions provided there are not made available here (e.g., using variable density instead of pressure, or calculating the properties of steam).

The stated temperature limits of validity of calculations in water.SUPCRT92 are from the greater of 0 °C or the melting temperature at pressure, to 2250 °C (Johnson et al., 1992). Valid pressures are from the greater of zero bar or the melting pressure at temperature to 30000 bar. The present functions do not check these limits and will attempt calculations for any range of input parameters, but may return NA for properties that fail to be calculated at given temperatures and pressures and/or produce warnings or even errors when problems are encountered.

Starting with version 0.9-9.4, a check for minimum pressure (in valTP function in H2O92D.f) has been bypassed so that properties of H2O can be calculated using water.SUPCRT92 at temperatures below the 0.01 °C triple point. A primary check is still enforced (Tbtm), giving a minimum valid temperature of 253.15 K.

water.IAPWS95 is a wrapper around IAPWS95, rho.IAPWS95 and water.AW90. water.IAPWS95 provides for calculations at specific temperature and pressure; density, needed for IAPWS95, is inverted from pressure using rho.IAPWS95. The function also contains routines for calculating the Born functions as numerical derivatives of the static dielectric constant (from water.AW90). For compatibility with geochemical modeling conventions, the values of Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy output by IAPWS95 are converted by water.IAPWS95 to the triple point reference state adopted in SUPCRT92 (Johnson and Norton, 1991; Helgeson and Kirkham, 1974). water.IAPWS95 also accepts setting P to ‘⁠Psat⁠’, with the saturation pressure calculated from WP02.auxiliary; by default the returned properties are for the liquid, but this can be changed to the vapor in thermo()$opt$IAPWS.sat.

A_DH and B_DH are solvent parameters in the “B-dot” (extended Debye-Huckel) equation (Helgeson, 1969; Manning, 2013).

Value

A data frame, the number of rows of which corresponds to the number of input temperature-pressure pairs.
