FE-IAPWS-IF97-DLL


FE-IAPWS-IF97-DLL (felib.iapwsif97) is a component of felib.dll.
Given pressure and temperature, felib.iapwsif97 determines the water/steam region and calculates specific volume, mass density, saturation pressure and temperature, boundary pressure and temperature (between regions 2 and 3), specific internal energy, specific isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, speed of sound, thermal conductivity, viscosity, isentropic exponent and dielectric constant, completely in accordance with:

FUNCTION
long Calculate­Properties(); calculates water/steam properties, determines the corresponding water/steam region and returns long representing error status flags.
ERROR STATUS
Upon completion the function Calculate­Properties­() returns "long" representing Error status. Error status property can also be read out by Get­Error­Flag­().
long Get­Error­Flag­() Description of Error flags.
Bit 0 =1 (0000001H) Pressure ≤0 or >100 MPa, or pressure >10 MPa for temperatures above 1073.15 K.
Bit 1 =1 (0000002H) Temperature <273.15 or >1073.15 K.
Bit 2 =1 (000004H) d>(0.55+0.97⋅mfrCO2-0.45⋅mfrH2)
d - density
mfrCO2 - mole fraction of carbon dioxide
mfrH2 - mole fraction of hydrogen
Bit 24 =1 (1000000H) Incorrect key-code entered.
Bits: 2....,23,25,....31 Unused.
The output parameters do have the corresponding pressure/temperature (p,t) range of validity. The parameter will be set to "-1" if the corresponding (p,t) range of validity was not satisfied. The result is valid only if it is not equal to "-1" and if the error flags are equal to zero.
