Project description

Python implementation of international-standard IAPWS-IF97 steam tables

dependences

  • python 2x;3x, compatible with both versions

  • Numpy-scipy: library with mathematic and scientific tools

install

In debian you can find in oficial repositories in testing and sid. In stable you can install using pip:

pip install iapws

In other SO you can download from its webpage in pypi and unzipped in python folder dist-packages.

sat_liquid=IAPWS97(T=370, x=0)            #saturated liquid with known T
steam=IAPWS97(P=2.5, T=500)               #steam with known P and T
print(sat_steam.h, sat_liquid.h, steam.h) #calculated enthalpies
