SUMMARY

The density of water (H2O) at 150°C and 600 psi is a complex topic due to the two-phase system of water and steam. Standard water tables indicate a density of approximately 916.69 kg/m³ at atmospheric conditions, but this value changes under pressure. For accurate data, one must consult steam tables specifically designed for high-pressure scenarios, as water is generally considered incompressible unless precise measurements are required. Resources like Wolfram Alpha can provide additional calculations for specific conditions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of steam tables and their application in thermodynamics
  • Knowledge of the properties of water under varying temperature and pressure
  • Familiarity with the concept of phase changes in fluids
  • Basic mechanical engineering principles related to fluid dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research steam tables for water at various pressures and temperatures
  • Learn how to calculate density changes in fluids under pressure
  • Explore the use of Wolfram Alpha for thermodynamic calculations
  • Study the principles of incompressibility in fluid mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, thermodynamics students, and professionals involved in fluid dynamics or high-pressure systems will benefit from this discussion.

Can anyone please show me how to look up Density of H20 @ 150 C & 600 psi pressure (Co2)...

I found a water table which shows 916.69 kg/m^3 but it does not show anything @ pressure. Isnt density related to both pressure & temp.?

What would be the difference in density if No gas was there and is gas was there?

Unless you need some very accurate data you may safely assume water is incompressible. If my tables don't fail me and I read them correctly, at 150 deg C pressure of water vapor is around 5 atm.

This question really belongs in the mechancial engineering section.

You need a set of steam tables as the substance you are referring to is water at 600psi and 150 degC is a two phase system of water and dry steam.

I'm sorry I don't have these values covered in my available tables tonight.

Why the mixed units metric and imperial by the way?

No. Have you read my post? I have specifically addressed this problem - not directly, but precisely enough.
