Electronic Steam Tables Programs

[naggy]

Hi all,
Been a while since I posted in these forums. Looking for advice on steam table software package.

I am looking for a relatively simple software package to look up steam properties. Preferably compatible with Excel. It at least has to be able to compute

• SH steam enthalpy as a function of steam temperature and pressure

• Saturation temperature as a function of pressure

• Density of SH steam as a function of steam temperature and pressure

• Saturation pressure as a function of temperature

During my online search, I found this

Does anyone have experience with this software package? What are you using for steam tables and thermodynamics properties of materials.

I use 'coolprop', an excel addin, simple and works well.

Looks like the excel add-in only includes a limited amount of the function library. Or am I missing something? Do I need anything except for the excel add-in files?

iirc the limitations are mainly that the add in can't do mixtures. If you are only interested in water it should be fine.
