Calculating Specific Volume of Water at 500 kPa and 20°C

Click For Summary
To calculate the specific volume of water at 500 kPa and 20°C, it's important to recognize that this condition is below the saturation point, indicating that water behaves as a compressed liquid. The saturated liquid specific volume can serve as a reasonable approximation in this scenario. Access to a compressed liquid table may provide more accurate values for specific volume. Additionally, understanding the compressibility of water can aid in refining calculations. Accurate data sources are essential for precise thermodynamic assessments.

Homework Statement


water at 500 kpa and 20 degrees Celsius

Homework Equations


how do i find the specific volume?

The Attempt at a Solution


my charts only give me specific volume at the saturation points, but i know this is below any saturation point, so I've hit a road block
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Below the saturation point, water is a compressed liquid. 500 kPa = 0.5 MPa ~ 5 atm.

The saturated liquid is a reasonably good approximation for specific volume. What's the compressibility of water?

Does one have access to a compressed liquid table?
