A suite of functions for MATLAB:
Thermodynamic Properties calculated according to the 'IAPWS
Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and
Steam', plus Transport
Properties calculated using the recent IAPWS
equations.
This WatSteam function suite will be invaluable to Chemical Engineers,
Mechanical Engineers and others carrying out engineering design
calculations in the MATLAB
environment for processes and equipment using water and steam, or wet air.
Functions may also be incorporated into Simulink
simulations, for wherever models require the thermodynamic or transport
properties of water or steam. Typical applications would include modelling
and dynamic simulation of steam-generating plant, steam supply and
distribution systems, coolers, condensers and steam turbines. Models of
plant and machinery handling wet air, such as air compressors and HVAC
systems, will also benefit from being based on rigorous properties for
water and steam.
A WatSteam Licence (single-user, perpetual license) for commercial use
costs £550, with electronic documentation and 1-year E-mail and telephone
support. Academic/Educational pricing is also available. Licenses for MATLAB/Simulink
are available separately from The
MathWorks Inc. (Holders of WATSTEAM Licenses have the option to
upgrade later to SimSteam at a reduced
price.)
