Overview:
The "International Steam Tables IAPWSIF97" app has been developed by active members of the
International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) at the Zittau/Goerlitz University of
Applied Sciences. The research group at the Department of Technical Thermodynamics in Zittau
participated in the development of the "Industrial Formulation IAPWSIF97 for the Properties of Water and
Steam" and developed four supplementary standards for backward equations.
The"InternationalSteamTables IAPWSIF97"appisavailableontheAppStore:
http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/internationalsteamtables/id502937992?mt=8&ls=1 .
This universal app can be used on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and is designed for comfortable use. The
calculations of the thermodynamic properties are based on the Industrial Formulation IAPWSIF97 and
cover its full range of validity. In addition, transport properties, thermodynamic derivatives, and backward
functions can be calculated. This app is intended to be used by students and engineers in their daily work.
For more detailed information on the features of the "International Steam Tables IAPWSIF97" app refer to
