steam_interact

steam_interact, a Fortran90 code which allows the user to interactively query the steam table functions from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).

The user can specify temperature and pressure, or temperature and density, and the program will return the computed values of a variety of quantities.

Most of these routines use a standard set of SI units. The original routines were written in FORTRAN77. This FORTRAN90 version has been extensively rewritten, with some additional routines for computing quantities such as the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and the Prandtl number.
