Simple Formulas for Thermophysical Properties of Liquid Water for Heat Transfer Calculations (from 0°C to 150°C)
Abstract
In this communication, simple formulas (based on the latest experimental tabulated data) for 11 physical properties of liquid ordinary water substance at saturation state—saturation pressure, density, volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, specific volume of saturated vapor, specific enthalpy, specific heal, latent heal of vaporization, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, Prandtl number, and surface tension as a function of temperature (from 0 to 150°C)—which are used in heat transfer calculations for heat exchangers in heating systems and also for many other technological applications, are presented. Also, the uncertainties of these formulas are given. In most practical cases the pressure of liquid water is within the range from 1 to 10 absolute bar, which makes it possible to neglect the effect of pressure. All properties of saturated liquid water calculated with the recommended formulas are tabulated with a temperature increment of 5°.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
