An investigation of certain thermodynamic and transport properties of water and water vapor in the critical region /

An accurate knowledge of thermodynamic and transport properties of water in the critical region is required in order to analyze future power cycles, nuclear reactor configurations, and other types of heat transfer apparatus. Preliminary investigations showed that this was not possible with presently...

520 3 |a An accurate knowledge of thermodynamic and transport properties of water in the critical region is required in order to analyze future power cycles, nuclear reactor configurations, and other types of heat transfer apparatus. Preliminary investigations showed that this was not possible with presently existing tabulations. Experimental data from volumetric viscosity and thermal conductivity studies were therefore selected and retabulated. Smoothings of these data are described and, for the first time, a tabulation at close intervals of pressure and temperature of the volumetric data is possible for steam in the critical region. A graphical presentation is given of volumetric data from 700 to 750 deg F. 
520 3 |a An important result of this study was that excellent agreement existed between the many P-V-T measurements for this substance even though some of the data was obtained many years ago. Differences occurring between the tabulated data of various steam tables were found to arise from the use of inexact equations of state or interpolation techniques rather than from faulty primary data. New P-V-T data were derived from measurements of other investigators, by a graphical technique and it is estimated that it yielded pressure values accurate to some five parts in ten thousand except in the subcooled liquid region (for specific volumes below 0.040 ft3/lb), where the uncertainty may be some twenty parts in ten thousand. 
520 3 |a Study of the existing thermal conductivity and viscosity data suggests that the Russian work is the most consistent. However, it appears that the empirical equations proposed for interpolation do not adequately represent the data in the critical region. No attempt has been made to derive thermodynamic functions or to analyze the transport data.
