Approximate functions for the fast calculation of light-water properties at saturation

For thermalhydraulic systems analysis, linear interpolation algorithms are commonly used for the calculation of thermodynamic properties. However, these algorithms can use a substantial amount of computer time and memory. An alternative to this approach suggested in the past is the use of approximation formulas. Such formulas for the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of light water for saturation conditions are presented here, based …
