This calculator works by reading the values that the user inputs and then finding the closest ones in a normalized table of steam propierties. Once the closest values are found, the calculator saves the ones that are before and after the input value and then performs a single or double interpolation (depending on the case) on every propierty for the selected input. Finally, the values are displayed to the user in the form of a table. This way, the user can get accurate values of entropy, enthalpy, steam quality and more for a selected pressure, temperature or both, either in the wet steam, saturated or superheated regions of the T-S, P-V or any other diagram.
Why was this calculator made?
This Online Steam Calculator was made after many other free online steam properties calculators lacked the set of inputs I needed to solve excercises for my Thermodynamics class. As a Mechanical Engineer trying to get into the world of web development and programming, I thought it would be a great project to practice coding and also offer a solution to my problem for free and to everyone.
