Supplementary Release on Properties of Liquid Water at 0.1 MPa
(September 2008)
Abstract
This supplementary release provides correlating equations for various thermophysical properties of liquid water as a function of absolute temperature T at a standard pressure of 0.1 MPa. The purpose of these equations is to provide a convenient representation of these properties at this common condition, with uncertainties no greater than those of the more complex IAPWS formulations that cover wide ranges of temperature and pressure. A discussion of the background, development, and validation of these correlations is presented in Ref. 1.Section 2 of this supplementary release describes the calculation of thermodynamic properties, along with the range of applicability and uncertainty of the calculations. Similar information is provided for the viscosity in Section 3, for the thermal conductivity in Section 4, and for the static dielectric constant in Section 5. Section 6 discusses use of these correlations for liquid water at pressures differing from 0.1 MPa. Section 7 presents calculated values for computer-program verification.
