HEAT OF VAPORIZATION OF WATER AT 50°, 70°, AND 90° C.

By E. F. Fiock and D. C. Ginnings

ABSTRACT

The values of the heat of vaporization of water at 50°, 70°, and 90° C. have
been determined as 2,381.6, 2,333.6, and 2,283.4 international joules per gram.
These results were obtained subsequent to the publication of a detailed report on
calorimetric determinations of thermal properties of saturated water and steam.
The measured values below 100° are in excellent agreement with those obtained
by extrapolation from the measurements above 100° C.

Thermal properties of saturated water and steam in the range from

0° to 270° C, as measured at this bureau, have already been published. 1

The determinations of heat of vaporization given before extended

from 100° to 270° C. Since the publication of the first paper it has
been possible to extend the measurements of heat of vaporization
down to 50° C. These measurements have been carried out under
the direction of N. S. Osborne and H. F. Stimson. This brief report
is given as a supplement to the previous detailed description. The
apparatus, manipulation, notation, and reduction of the data are
essentially unchanged.
The results of the more recent experiments are given in detailed
form in Table 1.

This equation, which was fitted to the observed values of heat of vapori- ,

zation above 100°, holds equally well for the observations down to
50° C.
