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?
