  2. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Heat of vaporization of water from melting to critical temperature. Water has a very high specific heat capacity of 4184 J/(kg·K) at 20 °C (4182 J/(kg·K) at 25 °C)—the second-highest among all the heteroatomic species (after ammonia), as well as a high heat of vaporization (40.65 kJ/mol or 2268 kJ/kg at the normal boiling point), both of ...

  3. Haline contraction coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haline_contraction_coefficient

    With these two coefficients, the density ratio can be calculated. This determines the contribution of the temperature and salinity to the density of a water parcel. β is called a contraction coefficient, because when salinity increases, water becomes denser, and if the temperature increases, water becomes less dense.

  5. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    A number of materials contract on heating within certain temperature ranges; this is usually called negative thermal expansion, rather than "thermal contraction".For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C (39.169 °F) and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and ...

  6. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    In water moderated nuclear reactors, the bulk of reactivity changes with respect to temperature are brought about by changes in the temperature of the water. However each element of the core has a specific temperature coefficient of reactivity (e.g. the fuel or cladding).

  7. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    Density of pure water at 60 °F = / or / [8] Note: There is no universal agreement on the exact density of pure water at various temperatures since each industry will often use a different standard. For example the, USGS says it is 0.99907 g/cm 3 . [ 9 ]

  8. Temperature–salinity diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature–salinity_diagram

    Each contour is known as an isopycnal, or a region of constant density. These isopycnals appear curved because of the nonlinearity of the equation of state of seawater. The thermal expansion coefficient, αT, and the haline contraction coefficient, βS, vary with temperature and salinity because both properties affect the potential density of ...
