X Steam, Thermodynamic properties of water and steam.

Water properties A complete IAPWS IF-97 standard.

www.x-eng.com, Steam and water properties for Matlab based on the "International Association for Properties of Water and Steam Industrial Formulation 1997 (IAPWS IF-97). A full implementation of the IF-97 standard that provides very accurate steam and water properties in ranges from 0-1000 bar and 0-2000°C. Provided thermodynamic properties are:

Temperature
Pressure
Enthalpy
Specific volume
Density
Specific entropy
Specific internal energy
Specific isobaric heat capacity
Specific isochoric heat capacity
Speed of sound
Viscosity
Vapour fraction

All properties can be calculated with the inputs, p and T known, p and h known, h and s known and some with pressure and density known. X Steam are a full implementation of the IF-97 formulation including all regions and all backward functions for good calculation speed. The code are speed optimized with pressure and enthalpy as inputs for dynamic simulations.

Examples:
XSteam('h_pt',1,20) return the enthalpy of water at 1 bar and 20 degC. 84.0118 kJ/kg

XSteam('rho_ph',1,3000) return the density of steam at 1 bar and 3000 kJ/kg. 0.4056 kg/m3

XSteam('w_pt',1,20) returns the speed of sound at 1 bar and 20 deg C. 1483.4 m/s

XSteam('tSat_p',1) returns the saturation temperature at 1 bar. 99.6059 deg C

The X Steam Tables are the perfect tool both for replacing paper tables and for advanced calculations. The X Steam tables are open source and free of charge.

The X Steam tables are also available as MS Excel scripts, OOo Sripts, Dynamic Link Libary .DLL. Please visit www.x-eng.com.
