The IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam

Abstract

In 1997, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted a new formulation for the thermodynamic properties of water and steam for industrial use. This new formulation, called IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97), replaces the previous industrial formulation, IFC-67, that had formed the basis for power-plant calculations and other applications in energy engineering since the late 1960’s. IAPWS-IF97 improves significantly both the accuracy and the speed of the calculation of the thermodynamic properties compared with IFC-67. The differences between IAPWS-IF97 and IFC-67 will require many users, particularly boiler and turbine manufacturers, to modify design and application codes. This paper summarizes the need and the requirements for such a new industrial formulation and gives the entire numerical information about the individual equations of IAPWS-IF97. Moreover, the scientific basis for the development of the equations is summarized and the achieved quality of IAPWS-IF97 is presented regarding the three criterions accuracy, consistency along region boundaries, and computation speed. For comparison, corresponding results for the previous standard IFC-67 are also presented. [S0742-4795(00)02201-8]

Efficient one-step melt-compounding of copolyetheramide/pristine clay nanocomposites using water-injection as intercalating/exfoliating aid

“…At high pressure (80 bar) a single peak at 153.5°C is observed. As expected, water boiling peak disappeared (at 80 bar pressure, water boiling point is 294.98°C [49]) and the remaining peak refers to the PA12 block melting. This peak shifted down by 17.5°C due to cryoscopy corresponding to the melting of a single phase made of water and PA12 blocks.…”

Evaluation of Acoustic- and Flow-Induced Vibration of the BWR Main Steam Lines and Dryer

“…However, as the relationship between the state quantities is very complex and the assumption of an ideal gas cannot be applied, an approximate EOS does not have a high enough accuracy for the state quantities calculation (O(10 À1 )). Thus, we used a look-up table based on IAPWS-IF97 13) for the calculation of state quantities. In this model, density ( ) and internal energy ("), which are calculated from N-S equations, are assigned as independent variables in the look-up table, and state quanti- Figure 10 shows the applicable range of the look-up table for the MATIS-SC code.…”

Critical analysis of uncertainties during particle filtration

“…Equations for dynamic viscosity correlations for NaCl solutions 22 include dynamic viscosity data for pure water which were adopted from Cooper and Dooley. 23 Water density data needed for the evaluation of water viscosity were obtained from Wagner et al 24 Combined standard uncertainties in temperature and pressure measurements evaluated earlier in Sec. III B (see Table III) were used to calculate the effect of pressure and temperature variation on dynamic viscosity for NaCl solutions at experimental conditions of 2.00 MPa and 298.15 K. Variation of pressure within its CSU resulted in negligible viscosity variation of 5.77 × 10 −3 μPa×s or 6.19 × 10 −4 %.…”
