Book Description

The tables and diagrams concerning the properties of ordinary water substance - as offered in this booklet - are mainly meant for use by students at universities and colleges so that they may be able to solve problems in the fields of power and chemical engineering, where water and steam are serving as working or process medium. On the other hand the tables and diagrams should support engineers in research work and industrial practice to obtain a quick and reliable general view of the proper ties of water substance. The thermodynamic properties of state have been calculated according to a formu lation given by Haar, Gallagher and Kell; this formulation was preliminarily adopted in 1983 by the "International Association for the Properties of Steam" (lAPS). All the other properties have been calculated according to the respective "Releases" of lAPS. Only units of the "International System of Units" (SI-Units) and their decimal multi ples and parts have been used. The detailed conversion tables facilitate comparisons with former material. We hope that the "Student's Tables" will prove a useful source for both, students and engineers. Munich, May 1984 The Editors Vorwort Die hier vorgelegten Tafeln und Diagramme uber die Eigenschaften von gew6hnlichem Wasser sind in erster Linie fur den Gebrauch der Studenten an Universitaten und Fach hochschulen bestimmt. Diese sollen dam it Probleme aus der Energietechnik und der Verfahrenstechnik 16sen k6nnen, bei denen Wasser und Wasserdampf als Arbeits-oder ProzeBmedium eine Rolle spielen.
