IAPWS R7-97 Steam Boiler Power

Calculate IAPWS R7-97 steam boiler power from temperature, pressure and mass flow rate.

The boiler power is calculated from the change of enthalpy between the inlet water, and the outlet steam. The boiler power can be calculated for either dry steam (boiler plus super heater), or saturated steam (boiler only). For dry steam the boiler power includes the combined power of the boiler and super heater. The boiler pressure is assumed constant. The enthalpy change is positive.

Note : There is an anomaly in the steam calculation for region 3 between the saturated vapour line, the region 2/3 boundary, and the critical pressure. Refer to the region 3 anomaly help page for more details (click the utility button on the data bar). IAPWS R7-97 is intended for industrial use, and is a simplified version of IAPWS R6-95 for scientific use. IAPWS R7-97 was developed as an improvement of the IFC-67 model.

CALCULATOR : IAPWS R7-97 Saturated Steam [FREE]   ±

Calculate steam saturation pressure and temperature (IAPWS R7-97 section 8).

The saturation point can be calculated from either the saturation temperature, or the saturation pressure. The calculation is valid between 273.15 K, and the critical point, 647.096 K. Use the Result Plot option to plot the steam temperature and pressure and steam properties versus either temperature or pressure.

Note : The speed of sound is not calculated for liquid vapour mixtures.

CALCULATOR : IAPWS R7-97 Steam Table [FREE]   ±

Calculate steam table from temperature and pressure (IAPWS R7-97 Steam Table).

Steam table values can be calculated for water and steam, saturated water, saturated steam, saturated water and steam, metastable water, and metastable steam. The calculations for water and steam are valid between 273.15 K and 1073.15 K (0 to 100 MPa), and between 1073.15 K and 2273.15 K (0 to 50 MPa).

The saturated water and steam calculations are valid between 273.15 K and 647.096 K.

The metastable calculation is valid between 273.15 K and 647.096 K, and for pressure from the saturated vapour line to the 5% equilibium moisture line (user defined). Use the Result Plot option to plot the steam properties versus temperature and pressure.

CALCULATOR : IAPWS R7-97 Steam Boiler Power [FREE]   ±

Calculate steam boiler power from temperature, pressure and mass flow rate (IAPWS R7-97 Steam Table).

The boiler power is calculated from the change in enthalpy. For dry steam the boiler power includes the superheat power. The boiler pressure is assumed constant. The fluid phase is assumed to be water at the inlet, and steam at the outlet. For water inlet and water outlet, the boiler is functioning as a water heater. For steam inlet and steam outlet the boiler is functioning as a super heater. Use the design factor for sizing of the boiler. Boiler efficiency is not included. The calculated change in enthalpy and boiler power is positive. Use the Result Plot option to plot boiler power versus mass flow rate.
