Add over 90 functions that return water and steam properties computed from the same formulas widely accepted as the international standard (as established at the 1967 International Formulation Committee (IFC) Formulation for Industrial Use) and adopted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The Steam Tables Extension Pack expands Mathcad's built-in function set with 92 steam and water property functions.

Ensure accurate and consistent data quantifying the physical properties of steam and water by applying these steam table functions to all work in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, compressible flow, properties of water, and more.

With these functions, you also get a professional guide that can be accessed electronically from Mathcad's pull-down menu. Representing hundreds of pages of content, there is electronic guidance for each function including: detailed examples, background information, descriptions of the algorithms used, and suggestions for application.

Because the guide is electronic, you get all the features you'd expect from an electronic reference tool, such as a hyperlinks, browsing, and full word search. And because the guide is written in Mathcad, you get the additional benefit of gaining full access to all of Mathcad's calculation and graphing features. For instance, you can modify the algorithms presented to build your own models, explore the content by working directly in the book, or drag content into your own Mathcad worksheets.

System Requirements

Mathcad PLUS 5.0 for Windows, Mathcad PLUS 6.0 for Windows, Mathcad 7 Professional or Mathcad 8 Professional (Mathcad 8 Professional must be version 8.01 or higher.) CD-ROM drive. 9 MB hard disk space (if installing to hard drive) when used in conjunction with Mathcad 8 Professional; 5 MB of free hard disk space (if installing to hard drive) when used in conjunction with older versions of Mathcad.

Ideal for electrical engineering applications, this Extension Pack comes with more than 60 signal processing functions that add new demonstration and implementation capabilities to Mathcad Professional. The Extension Pack lets you perform many variations of signal analysis, including acoustical or
optical and analog or digital. For example, you can generate coefficients for an FIR lowpass filter, convolve the impulse response with a test signal, and plot the input and output signals for comparison. you can see the results immediately and explore the effects of changing parameters in your routines.

This Extension Pack lets you explore image processing with Mathcad. Perform smoothing, crisping, edge detection, erosion, and dilation algorithms on color and grayscale images. Or, compare different convolution kernels and
experiment with filters in the Fourier transform domain. There's even a 2-D wavelet transform function allowing you to experiment with this popular transform method. And you can read and write images in various formats, including BMP, GIF and JPEG. In addition to all the built-in processing functions, there's a custom image viewer that updates images automatically along with your equations in Mathcad.
