Steam Process Library

Steam_Lib, the Steam and Water Process Library, is an easy to use yet powerful model library for analyzing thermal systems that use water and steam as working fluid. It offers a comprehensive range of models for both design and off-design analysis.

To calculate the properties of water and steam, Steam_Lib utilizes the IAPWS_IF97, which stands for the Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam, developed by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS).

Steam_Lib is a subset of several other model libraries.
