Description
This formulation is recommended for the calculation of thermodynamic properties
of ordinary water in its solid hexagonal phase I, including vapor-solid and liquid-solid equilibria in conjuction with the
IAPWS-95 formulation for thermodynamic properties of fluid water for general and scientific use.
The formulation is for the Gibbs energy as a function of temperature and pressure;
appropriate combinations of derivatives can produce any thermodynamic property desired
(density or specific volume, sound speed, heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, etc.).
The formulation is valid in the entire region of stable existence of ice Ih.
It extrapolates in a physically reasonable way outside this region.
The development of the formulation and comparisons to
available data are described in detail in a
scientific article.
Software Implementation
The IAPWS Subcommittee on Seawater, in cooperation with the
SCOR/IAPSO Working Group 127,
developed the "Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater 2010" (TEOS-10) which was endorsed as an international standard for oceanography by
UNESCO-IOC in 2009 and by
IUGG in 2011.
The open-source code of TEOS-10
includes software implementations of this IAPWS formulation.

Revision History
- This Release was adopted by IAPWS in 2006.
- In 2009, the Release was revised in order to produce greater consistency with conventions for the arbitrary zero values for entropy and internal energy at the triple point. No calculations for measurable properties or property differences were affected by this change. A few minor editorial updates were also made.
This Release is the product of the Working Group "Thermophysical Properties of Water and Steam" (TPWS) of the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS).
