In modeling advanced steam power cycles, thermodynamic properties as functions of pressure and enthalpy (p,h) or pressure and entropy (p,s) are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, these calculations require cumbersome two-dimensional iteration of temperature T and specific volume v from (p,h) or (p,s). While these calculations in region 3 are not frequently required, the computing time can be significant. Therefore, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for T(p,h), v(p,h), T(p,s), and v(p,s) in region 3, along with boundary equations for the saturation pressure as a function of enthalpy, p3sat(h), and of entropy, p3sat(s). Using the new equations, two-dimensional iteration can be avoided. The numerical consistency of temperature and specific volume obtained in this way is sufficient for most uses. This paper summarizes the need and the requirements for these equations and gives complete numerical information. In addition, numerical consistency and computational speed are discussed.

In modeling steam power cycles, thermodynamic properties as functions of the variables enthalpy and entropy are required in the liquid and the vapor regions. It is difficult to perform these calculations with IAPWS-IF97, because they require two-dimensional iterations calculated from the IAPWS-IF97 fundamental equations. While these calculations are not frequently required, the relatively large computing time required for two-dimensional iteration can be significant in process modeling. Therefore, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for pressure as a function of enthalpy and entropy p(h,s) as a supplement to the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS-IF97) in 2001. These p(h,s) equations are valid in the liquid region 1 and the vapor region 2. With pressure p, temperature T(h,s) can be calculated from the IAPWS-IF97 backward equations T(p,h). By using the p(h,s) equations, the two dimensional iterations of the IAPWS-IF97 basic equations can be avoided. The numerical consistency of pressure and temperature obtained in this way is sufficient for most heat cycle calculations. This paper summarizes the need and the requirements for the p(h,s) equations and gives complete numerical information about the equations. Moreover, the achieved quality of the equations and their use in the calculation of the backward function T(h,s) is presented. The three aspects, numerical consistency with the IAPWS-IF97 basic equations, consistency along subregion boundaries, and computational speed important for industrial use are discussed.

When steam power cycles are modeled, thermodynamic properties as functions of enthalpy and entropy are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, these calculations require cumbersome two-dimensional iteration of temperature T and specific volume v from specific enthalpy h and specific entropy s. While these calculations are not frequently required, the computing time can be significant. Therefore, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for p(h,s) in region 3. For calculating properties as a function of h and s in the part of the two-phase region that is important for steam-turbine calculations, a backward equation Tsat(h,s) is provided. In order to avoid time-consuming iteration in determining the region for given values of h and s, equations for the region boundaries were developed. The numerical consistency of the equations documented here is sufficient for most applications in heat-cycle, boiler, and steam-turbine calculations.

Iterative Procedures

When steam power cycles are modeled, thermodynamic properties as functions of pressure and temperature are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, such calculations require cumbersome iterative calculations, because temperature and volume are the independent variables in the formulation for this region. In order to reduce the computing time, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted a set of backward equations for volume as a function of pressure and temperature in region 3. The necessary numerical consistency is achieved by dividing the region into 20 subregions, plus auxiliary subregions near the critical point in which the consistency requirements are relaxed due to the singular behavior at the critical point. In this work, we provide complete documentation of these equations, along with a discussion of their numerical consistency and the savings in computer time. The numerical consistency of these equations should be sufficient for most applications in heat-cycle, boiler, and steam-turbine calculations; if even higher consistency is required, the equations may be used to generate guesses for iterative procedures.

Computational Implementation

The present paper presents the computational implementation of the industrial formulation of the thermodynamic properties of water at liquid and steam phases, proposed by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam, known as IAPWS-IF97. The validity field extends over to temperatures T between 0ºC and 800°C, for pressures p up to 100 MPa. Temperature T, specific volume v, specific enthalpy h, specific entropy s, specific heat at constant pressure cp and constant volume cv, besides saturation pressure ps, are calculated having a pair of known input values (p,T), (p,h) or (p,s). A comparative analysis between the IAPWS-IF97 routines and others, based on foregoing propositions, from an application on Rankine cycle, is made. IAPWS-IF97 has proved to be more precise, mainly because it accounts for the region of compressed liquid, besides requiring less processing time. The development is carried out as FORTRAN90 subroutines and functions and is available for public use according to a General Public License.

The presented Spline-Based Table Look-Up Method (SBTL) is intended to be used for fast and accurate property calculations in computationally extensive process simulations, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), heat-cycle calculations, simulations of non-stationary processes, and real-time process optimizations, where conventional multiparameter equations of state may be unsuitable because of their computing time consumption. Through the use of the SBTL method, the results of existing property formulations are accurately reproduced at high computational speed. SBTL property functions, their first derivatives, and inverse functions are continuous and numerically consistent with each other. The developed algorithms are successfully applied in commercial and non-commercial software products for CFD, heat-cycle calculations, and simulations of non-stationary processes. The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam has adopted the “Guideline on the Fast Calculat...

Plant Configuration

This work presents the characteristics of a solar thermal tower power plant in two different places (Seville and Dubai) using three different HTFs (NaNO3-KNO3, KCl-MgCl2 and Li2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3) and three different power cycles (Rankine, sCO2 Recompression and sCO2 Partial cooling cycles). An indirect configuration is considered for the Gemasolar power plant. Detailed modelling is carried out for the conversion of incident power on the heliostat to the output electricity. Optimization of the cycle is carried out to determine the most promising cycle configuration for efficiency. The results showed that for the Gemasolar power plant configuration, the performance of the KCl-MgCl2 based plant was poorest amongst all. NaNO3-KNO3 based plant has shown good performance with the Rankine cycle but plant having Li2CO3-Na2CO3-K2CO3 as HTF was best for all three cycles. Partial cooling was the best performing cycle at both locations with all three HTFs. Placing the Seville Plant in Dubai has improved the efficiency from 23.56% to 24.33%, a capacity factor improvement of 21 and 52 GW additional power is generated. The optimization of the plant in Dubai has shown further improvements. The efficiency is improved, the Capacity factor is increased by 31.2 and 77.8 GW of additional electricity is produced.

Nontraditional Method

An attractive and nontraditional method for water production is presented in this paper. The proposed method is to condense the exhaust gases of the natural gas fired steam generators of power plants. In order to achieve this, it is necessary that modification of the convectional steam power cycles be accomplished without sacrificing the efficiency of the power plants. An investigation and modification of the power cycles is proposed. Economic aspects are also considered.

The computation of power cycles employing carbon dioxide as working fluid and extending down to the critical region requires the knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of CO2 within a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Available data are recognized to be insufficient or insufficiently accurate chiefly in the vicinity of the critical dome. Newly published density and specific heat measurements are employed to compute thermodynamic functions at temperatures between 0 and 50 deg C, where the need of better data is more urgent. Methods for the computation of thermal properties from density measurement in the low and in the high temperature range are presented and discussed. Results are reported of the computation of entropy and enthalpy of CO2 in the range 150–750 deg C and 40–600 atm. The probable precision of the tables is inferred from an error analysis based on the generation, by means of a computer program of a set of pseudoexperimental points which, treated as actual measurements, yield useful information about the accuracy of the calculation procedure.
