iapws 1.4

Python implementation of standards from The InternationalAssociation for the Properties of Water and Steam

iapws

Python implementation of standard from IAPWS (http://www.iapws.org/release.html). The module implements the full set of standards, including:

IAPWS-IF97
IAPWS-95
IAPWS-06 for Ice
IAPWS-08 for seawater
IAPWS-17 for Heavy water
...

dependences

• Support for both python branch:

  * python 2.7
  * python 3.4 or later

• Numpy-scipy: library with mathematic and scientific tools

install

In debian you can find in official repositories in jessie, testing and sid. In ubuntu it’s in official repositories from ubuntu saucy (13.10). In other system you can install using pip:

pip install iapws

or directly cloning the github repository:

git clone https://github.com/jjgomera/iapws.git

and adding the folder to a python path. This is the recommended option to have the latest version.

For a rapid usage demostration, see this examples

IAPWS-IF97 (see full documentation)

from iapws import IAPWS97
sat_steam=IAPWS97(P=1,x=1)                #saturated steam with known P
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

IAPWS-95 (see full documentation)

from iapws import IAPWS95
sat_steam=IAPWS95(P=1,x=1)                #saturated steam with known P
sat_liquid=IAPWS95(T=370, x=0)            #saturated liquid with known T
steam=IAPWS95(P=2.5, T=500)               #steam with known P and T
print(sat_steam.h, sat_liquid.h, steam.h) #calculated enthalpies

IAPWS-17 for Heavy water (see full documentation)

from iapws import D2O
sat_liquid=D2O(T=370, x=0)            #saturated liquid with known T
print(sat_liquid.h)                   #calculated enthalpy

IAPWS-06 for Ice Ih (see full documentation)

from iapws import _Ice
ice=_Ice(273.15, 0.101325)            #Ice at normal melting point
print(ice["rho"])                     #Calculated density

IAPWS-08 for seawater (see full documentation)

from iapws import SeaWater
state = SeaWater(T=300, P=0.101325, S=0.001)    #Seawater with 0.1% Salinity
print(state.cp)                                 # Get cp

TODO

• FIXME: Electrolytic conductiviy

• TODO: Improve convergence in two phase region for IAPWS95 and D2O class

• TODO: Implement SBTL method for fast calculation

• TODO: Implement TTSE method for fast calculation

Ammonia-water mixture:

• FIXME: Ammonia-water mixture residual helmholtz. The values are good, bad difer by 1%

• TODO: Add equilibrium routine

I’ve tried to test all code and use all values for computer verification the standards give, but anyway the code can have hidden problem. For any suggestions, comments, bugs … you can usage the github issue section, or contact directly with me at email.
