International Steam Tables - Properties of Water and Steam based on the Industrial Formulation IAPWS-IF97


Book Description

These steam tables have been calculated using the international standard for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam, the IAPWS-IF97 formulation, and the international standards for transport and other properties. In addition, the complete set of equations of IAPWS-IF97 is presented including all supplementary backward equations adopted by IAPWS between 2001 and 2005 for fast calculations of heat cycles, boilers, and steam turbines.




International Steam Tables


Book Description

This book contains steam tables for practical industrial use calculated by using the international standard IAPWS-IF97 for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam and the IAPWS industrial standards for transport and other properties. The complete set of equations of IAPWS-IF97 is presented including all supplementary backward equations adopted by IAPWS for fast calculations of heat cycles, boilers, and steam turbines. The calculation of the properties is not only shown for the usual input parameter pairs pressure and temperature, but also for the parameters pressure and enthalpy, pressure and entropy, enthalpy and entropy. It is for the first time that such a description is given. For designing advanced energy conversion processes, tables and property calculation algorithms of steam up to 2000 °C are given. In addition, these steam tables contain the following features: • Formulas to calculate arbitrary partial derivatives of the eight most important properties from IAPWS-IF97, which are very helpful in non-stationary process modelling, are shown. • The uncertainty values of IAPWS-IF97 regarding the most important properties are included. • Pressure-temperature diagrams with isolines of 26 thermodynamic, transport and other properties are added.




ASME International Steam Tables for Industrial Use


Book Description

Continuing the tradition of the ASME Steam Tables that dates back to 1967, ASME International Steam Tables for Industrial Use places at your fingertips the thermodynamic, transport, and other properties of water and steam in a handy, printed soft cover format. Based on the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam- Industrial Formulation 1997 (IAPWS- IF97), this new book complements the software, ASME Steam Properties for Industrial Use, published in January 1999. Together, these important references are the international standard for power plant and industrial calculations, used in conjunction with contract commitments. The tables have been calculated, and reproduce values from, the computer software. The tables have fewer points than in previous editions of the Steam Tables, and they are intended for estimation and ready reference rather than for serious design and precise interpolation. This volume was published on behalf of the ASME Research and Technology Committee on Water and Steam in Thermal Systems, Subcommittee on Properties of Steam.




Properties of Water and Steam


Book Description

This book contains the entire set of the IAPWS-IF97 equations and, in addition, the latest international equations for the properties viscosity, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant, refractive index, and surface tension. Based on these equations comprehensive tables of the corresponding thermophysical properties including the Prandtl-number are given as well. Enclosed are two DIN-A2 wall graphs of h,s and T,s relationship.

Essential Classical Thermodynamics


Book Description

This book is a concise, readable, yet authoritative primer of basic classic thermodynamics. Many students have difficulty with thermodynamics, and find at some stage of their careers in academia or industry that they have forgotten what they learned, or never really understood these fundamental physical laws. As the title of the book suggests, the author has distilled the subject down to its essentials, using many simple and clear illustrations, instructive examples, and key equations and simple derivations to elucidate concepts. Based on many years of teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels, “Essential Classical Thermodynamics” is intended to provide a positive learning experience, and to empower the reader to explore the many possibilities for applying thermodynamics in other fields of science, engineering, and even economics where energy plays a central role. Thermodynamics is fun when you understand it!
