IAPWS-IF97 Water and Steam Properties
Dynamic Link Library
C++ dynamic-linked library (dll) of functions used for the development of Windows applications.
Any Windows client application that supports C++ function imports can make use of this library by including it in its deployment.
High-precision calculations of thermodynamic and transport properties of water and steam based on the latest IAPWS-IF97 formulation and IAPWS releases.
MAIN FEATURES
Royalty free distribution for unlimited Windows applications.
Full support of .NET, C++, C# framework development environments.
64-bit and 32-bit libraries included.
Performs all the calculations implementing the latest mathematical formulations from the IAPWS (International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam) Industrial formulation (Revision 2007).
Allows for 14 different combinations of thermodynamic properties to be entered as input parameters:
Temperature / Pressure
Temperature / Specific Enthalpy
Temperature / Specific Internal Energy
Temperature / Specific Entropy
Temperature / Specific Volume
Temperature / Vapor Fraction
Pressure / Specific Enthalpy
Pressure / Specific Internal Energy
Pressure / Specific Entropy
Pressure / Specific Volume
Pressure / Vapor Fraction
Specific Enthalpy / Specific Entropy
Specific Enthalpy / Specific Volume
Specific Internal Energy / Specific Volume
Supports input parameters and calculation results in both the SI (metric) and the I-P (English) system of units.
For each combination of input thermodynamic properties, it validates the appropriate input values in the valid range of computations.
RANGE OF VALIDITY
The valid range of calculations for thermodynamic properties is defined by the IAPWS (International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam) as shown on Figure 1, together with the correspondent division of regions.

Valid range for the IAPWS-IF97 and regions.
