22//! The WaterProps class is used to house several approximation routines for
23//! properties of water.
24/*!
25 * This is a helper class for WaterSSTP and PDSS_Water and does not constitute
26 * a complete implementation of a thermo phase by itself (see @ref thermoprops
27 * and classes @link Cantera::WaterSSTP WaterSSTP@endlink and
28 * @link Cantera::PDSS_Water PDSS_Water@endlink).
29 *
30 * The class is also a wrapper around the WaterPropsIAPWS class which provides
31 * the calculations for the equation of state properties for water.
32 *
33 * In particular, this class houses methods for the calculation of the dielectric
34 * constant of water and the constant A_debye used in the Debye-Huckel and
35 * Pitzer activity coefficient calculations.
