Introduction

Python implementation of standard from IAPWS (http://www.iapws.org/release.html).

Dependences

  • python 2x, 3x, compatible with both versions
  • Numpy-scipy: library with mathematic and scientific tools

Installation

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.

TODO

  • 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:

  • 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.
