Calculate water and steam dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity and flowrate from temperature and pressure.
The viscosity is calculated from temperature and density using the IAPWS R12-08 industrial equations. The fluid density is calculated from temperature and pressure using IAPWS R7-97. Flowrate can be defined by either mass flowrate, volume flowrate, or velocity.
Note : The anomaly region calculation close to the critical point is ignored (the anomaly factor u2 is set to 1). Refer to the help page for more details.
Use the Result Plot option to plot density and viscosity versus pressure and temperature.
