Evaluation of Equations Approximating Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Water, Steam and Air for Use in CAD of Drying Processes

Over 70 equations approximating thermodynamic and transport properties of water and steam at pressure 1 bar and saturated pressure as well as air at pressure 1 bar were tested against reference data. Their accuracy and relative computing time were reported.
