IAPWS-IF97 Water and Steam Properties
EXCEL Add-In Library
High-precision calculations of thermodynamic and transport properties of water and steam based on the latest IAPWS-IF97 formulation and IAPWS releases.
MAIN FEATURES
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.

SYSTEM OF UNITS
Thermodynamic variables in the SI (metric) system of units can be entered and/or the calculation results can be displayed in the following units:
Pressure: Pa
Temperature: K
Specific Enthalpy: J/kg
Specific Entropy: J/(kg·K)
Specific Internal Energy: J/kg
Specific Volume: m³/kg
Vapor Fraction: kg/kg
Thermodynamic variables in the I-P (English) system of units can be entered and/or the calculation results can be displayed in the following units:
