IAPWS-95 Formulation in the Saturation Region

Description

Compute thermodynamic and transport properties of water and steam along the saturated line according to the IAPWS formulation 1995.

Usage

iapws95_sat(what, p, t)

Arguments

what

a character vector listing the output properties. See Details for available properties.

t

a numeric vector giving the temperature values in K.

p

a numeric vector giving the pressure values in MPa.

Details

The available properties for what are:

• "f": the specific free energy in kJ/kg.

• "g": the specific Gibbs enthalpy in kJ/kg.

• "u": the specific internal energy in kJ/kg.

• "h": the specific enthalpy in kJ/kg.

• "s": the specific entropy in kJ/K/kg.

• "t": the temperature in K.

• "p": the pressure in MPa.

• "v": the specific volume in m^3/kg.

• "rho": the mass density in kg/m^3.

• "cv": the specific isochoric heat capacity in kJ/K/kg.

• "cp": the specific isobaric heat capacity in kJ/K/kg.

• "alpha": the expansion coefficient in 1/K

• "beta": the pressure coefficient in MPa/K.

• "kappat": the isothermal compressibility in 1/MPa.

• "w": the speed of sound in m/s.

• "eta": the dynamic viscosity in \muPa.s.

• "lambda": the thermal conductivity in mW/K/m.

Only one of t or p is needed. If both arguments are given, p is ignored.

Value

A numeric array of dimension c(n, length(what), 2L) with n the length of either p or t. The last dimension indicate the physical state ("liquid" or "gas").

Note

Computing several properties in a single call may be more efficient than separately because most of the computation time is shared.
