This medium package models water vapor (pure steam, region 2, quality=1).
Thermodynamic properties are calculated primarily in terms of pressure and temperature. For thermodynamic property functions, the IAPWS-IF97 formulations are adapted, and approximate relationships are provided for commonly used functions to improve computational efficiency and provide backward compatability.
Detailed functions from Modelica.Media.Water.WaterIF97_R2pT are generally used, except for BuildingSystems.Media.Steam.specificEnthalpy and BuildingSystems.Media.Steam.specificEntropy (both "forward" functions), as well as their "backward" inverse functions BuildingSystems.Media.Steam.temperature_ph and BuildingSystems.Media.Steam.temperature_ps, which are numerically consistent with the forward functions. The following modifications were made relative to the Modelica.Media.Water.WaterIF97_R2pT medium package:
T_max=130°C. This is suitable for real-world condensate
return and boiler feedwater systems, which are typically vented to the atmosphere
with steam contained via steam traps (thus, T_max=100°C for the
condensate or feedwater in properly functioning systems).This model is intended for first generation district heating systems and other steam heating processes involving low and medium pressure steam.
