.ThermalSeparation.Media.WaterBasedLiquid.BaseClasses.IF97_Utilities.BaseIF97.Regions .ThermalSeparation.Media.WaterBasedLiquid.BaseClasses.IF97_Utilities.BaseIF97.RegionsPackage Regions contains a large number of auxiliary functions which are neede to compute the current region of the IAPWS/IF97 for a given pair of input variables as quickly as possible. The focus of this implementation was on computational efficiency, not on compact code. Many of the function values calulated in these functions could be obtained using the fundamental functions of IAPWS/IF97, but with considerable overhead. If the region of IAPWS/IF97 is known in advance, the input variable mode can be set to the region, then the somewhat costly region checks are omitted. The checking for the phase has to be done outside the region functions because many properties are not differentiable at the region boundary. If the input phase is 2, the output region will be set to 4 immediately.
The main 4 functions in this package are the functions returning the appropriate region for two input variables.
In addition, functions of the boiling and condensation curves compute the specific enthalpy, specific entropy, or density on these curves. The functions for the saturation pressure and temperature are included in the package Basic because they are part of the original IAPWS/IF97 standards document. These functions are also aliased to be used directly from package Water.
All other functions are auxiliary functions called from the region functions to check a specific boundary.
