Thermodynamic and Thermophysical Properties of Saline Water


Free Download Thermodynamic and Thermophysical Properties of Saline Water: Models, Correlations and Data for Desalination and Relevant Applications by Naef A. A. Qasem , Muhammad M. Generous , Bilal A. Qureshi , Syed M. Zubair
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 331 Pages | ISBN : 3031351924 | 30.4 MB
​This book accommodates the existing correlations, data, and methods for thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of saline water, including multiple components at a wide range of salinity (reaching around 200 g/kg), temperature, and pressure. The correlations of each property are Descriptionted against existing experimental data to judge the comparative accuracy of each within a given specific range of salinity, temperature, and pressure. An assessment to recommend some correlations is also conducted. New correlations for some properties are also proposed. This book helps to provide the saline water properties as needed for engineers, designers, and research for different areas, including desalination and water treatment.
