SteamTables

A Julia implementation of the IAPWS-IF97 properties of water and steam. Provides the Gibbs and Helmholtz free energies, enthalpy, entropy, Cp, Cv and sonic velocity.

Optional use of physical units via Unitful.jl

Inputs are either P&T, P&h or P&s.

Use of physical units

If unitless values are passed, the physical units listed above are assumed and the returned values will also be in these units, e.g. Kelvin for temperature, MPa for pressure.

Optionally, however, you may pass Unitful.jl Quantity values, e.g. 100u"°C". The returned values will still be in the specified units, but may be easily converted via Unitful's uconvert()

Example

julia> using SteamTables, Unitful

julia> Psat(400)
0.24575318630408327

julia> Psat(400u"K")
0.24575318630408327 MPa

julia> Psat(300u"°C")
8.587708329557278 MPa

julia> uconvert(u"psi", Psat(400u"K"))
35.643486181534875 psi
