Abstract

In modeling advanced steam power cycles, thermodynamic properties as functions of enthalpy and entropy are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, these calculations require cumbersome two-dimensional iterations of temperature T and specific volume v from specific enthalpy h and specific entropy s. While these calculations are not frequently required, the computing time can be significant. Therefore, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for p (h,s) in region 3. For calculating properties as a function of h and s in the part of the two-phase region which is important for steam-turbine calculations, a backward equation Tsat (h,s) is provided. In order to avoid time consuming iterations in determining the region for given values of the variables h and s equations for the region boundaries were developed. The numerical consistency of the equations documented here is sufficient for most applications in heat cycle, boiler, and steam-turbine calculations.
