Abstract

In 2001, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for pressure as a function of enthalpy and entropy p(h, s) as supplement to the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Termodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97). The p(h,s) equations are valid in the liquid region 1 and the region 2. With pressure p, temperature T(h, s), can be calculated using the IAPWS-IF97 backward equations T(h,s). When using the p(h,s) equations, the two-dimentional iterations of the IAPWS-IF97 basic equations can be avoided. The numerical consistency of pressure and temperature obtained in this way is sufficient for most heat cycle calculations. This paper summarizes the need and the requirements for the p(h,s) equations and gives complete numerical information about the equations. Moreover, the quality of the p(h,s) equations and the calculation of the backward function T(h,s) is presented regarding three aspects: numerical consistency with the IAPWS-IF97 basic equations consistency along subregion boundaries, and computation speed important for industrial use.
