This program was written to be used as a subroutine. The program determines the thermodynamic properties of water given any of the following pairs of knowns to define a thermodynamic state: pressure and entropy, pressure and enthalpy, pressure and quality, temperature and pressure, or temperature and quality. These five pairs of knowns allow the user to evaluate any thermodynamic cycle using water, as a working fluid. The basic equations came from Keenan, Keyes, Hill and Moore, Steam Tables, John Wiley and Sons, 1969. A complete derivation of equations, program listing, program symbol description, a complete set of flow charts and a sample steam turbine calculation are included.
