Properties of water under high pressure as a function of Temperature

AI Thread Summary
Equations for water properties under high pressure and varying temperatures are limited due to water's anomalous behavior, making reliance on tables of measurements more effective. Resources like the International Steam Tables provide comprehensive data for properties such as density, thermal conductivity, dynamic viscosity, and heat capacity at constant pressure, particularly at pressures around 130 bar and temperatures from 30°C to 300°C. Users are encouraged to consult these tables instead of seeking polynomial equations for accurate material properties. The discussion highlights the importance of using empirical data for precise applications in simulations like COMSOL Multiphysics. Accurate modeling of water's behavior requires accessing detailed property tables rather than relying solely on theoretical equations.

Hey,
I'm trying to find equations which describe properties of water under high pressure as a function of temperature. The equations are in polynomial form. i am trying to find a better approximation for the material properties of water(density,thermal conductivity, etc...), as the programs description is quite limited. (The program is COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5). Any help or resources you could suggest on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You do not fully list the properties to be considered.

Water has anomalous properties so any serious application will not rely on equations but tables of measurements.

Such tables are freely availbale and are usually called International Steam Tables or similar. Although they are called steam they include properties where the fluid is all liquid at elevated temperature because of the pressure.
 
Thank you very much for your reply. I'm new to the forum, so Apologies for the lack of information. The properties I am most interested in are:
  • Density,
  • Thermal conductivity,
  • Dynamic viscosity,
  • Heat capacity at constant pressure.
The pressure is 130bar. The temperature ranges from 30°C to approx 300°C.

When you say anomalous, that means that water cannot be accurately described by equations?

So I would have to find properties for a range of temperatures and load its properties this way?
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
