functions to find the current region for given pairs of input variables

Information

Package description
Package 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.  
Package contents  
 The main 4 functions in this package are the functions returning the appropriate region for two input variables.  
   
Function region_ph compute the region of IAPWS/IF97 for input pair pressure and specific enthalpy.  
Function region_ps compute the region of IAPWS/IF97 for input pair pressure and specific entropy  
Function region_dT compute the region of IAPWS/IF97 for input pair density and temperature.  
Function region_pT compute the region of IAPWS/IF97 for input pair pressure and temperature (only ine phase region).  

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.  
   

Function hl_p computes the liquid specific enthalpy as a function of pressure. For overcritical pressures,  
 the critical specific enthalpy is returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.  
Function hv_p computes the vapour specific enthalpy as a function of pressure. For overcritical pressures,  
 the critical specific enthalpy is returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.  
Function sl_p computes the liquid specific entropy as a function of pressure. For overcritical pressures,  
 the critical  specific entropy is returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.  
Function sv_p computes the vapour  specific entropy as a function of pressure. For overcritical pressures,  
 the critical  specific entropyis returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.  
Function rhol_T computes the liquid density as a function of temperature. For overcritical temperatures,  
 the critical density is returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.  
Function rhol_T computes the vapour density as a function of temperature. For overcritical temperatures,  
 the critical density is returned. An approximation is used for temperatures > 623.15 K.
