Material properties of Heavy water

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the thermophysical properties of heavy water, specifically at a reference temperature of 40°C and a pressure of 6.549 kPa. Key properties mentioned include a density of 1099.99 Kg/m³, a specific heat at constant pressure of 153.36 KJ/Kg, dynamic viscosity of 7.848e-4 Pa·s, thermal conductivity of 610.2e-3 W/m·K, kinematic viscosity of 0.7135e-6 m²/s, and a Prandtl number of 5.443. The user seeks validation of these properties for use in computer simulations and is directed to several authoritative resources for further verification.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermophysical properties and their significance in simulations
  • Familiarity with heavy water and its applications in scientific research

Hello sir,
I am new to this forum i am looking for thermophysical properties of heavy water for my computer simulation. following properties i found in the wed. can anyone suggest me that these considered properties are correct
(ref temp 40 C and 6.549 kPa)
density = 1099.99 Kg/m3
specific heat at constant pressure = 153.36 KJ/Kg or 2230.8 Kj/kg (which one is correct)
dynamic viscosity = 7.848e4 Pa s
Thermal conductivity = 610.2e3 W/m K
Kinematic viscosity = 0.7135e6 m2/s
Pr = 5.443

Thank you
Sunil
