SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the use of thermodynamic tables for water (H2O) to complete a specific data table involving temperature, pressure, enthalpy, and phase description. Key insights include the necessity of identifying two intensive properties to begin the analysis and the importance of selecting the appropriate tables: saturated tables for phase data, compressed liquid tables for high pressures, and superheated vapor tables for high temperatures. Additionally, interpolation is required when exact values are not available in the tables.
