Enthalpy-Entropy Diagram for Water

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows an enthalpy-entropy (-
) diagram for water. Use the checkboxes to display lines of constant pressure
(purple), temperature
(green) or vapor quality
(blue). Check "phase envelope" to show saturated liquid (magenta), saturated vapor (orange line) and the critical point (black dot). You can also show the grid lines.
