IAPWS R7-97 Steam Boiler Feed Pump Power

Calculate IAPWS R7-97 boiler feed pump power from pressure and mass flow rate.

Changes of elevation and velocity are ignored.

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 Boiler Feed Pump Power [FREE]   ±

Calculate boiler feed pump power from pressure and flow rate (IAPWS R7-97 Steam Table).

Boiler feed pump power equals the volume flow rate times the pressure difference. The efficiency factor accounts for the pump efficiency. For hydraulic power set the efficiency factor to 1. For pump break horsepower set the efficiency factor less than 1. The inlet pressure must be greater than the vapour pressure to prevent boiling. Use the Result Plot option to plot pump power versus either mass flow rate, or volume flow rate.
