Information

Saturation pressure of water, computed from temperature, according to Wagner et al. (1993). The range of validity is between 190 and 373.16 Kelvin.

Revisions

• March 15, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  Replaced spliceFunction with regStep. This is for issue 300.
• August 19, 2015 by Michael Wetter:
  Changed smoothOrder from 5 to 1 as BuildingSystems.Utilities.Math.Functions.spliceFunction is only once continuously differentiable. Inlined the function.
• November 20, 2013 by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation, moved from BuildingSystems.Media.
