  2. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest (at 4 °C or 39.2 °F); for gases, the reference is air at room temperature (20 °C or 68 °F). The term "relative density" (abbreviated r.d. or RD ) is preferred in SI , whereas the term "specific gravity" is gradually being abandoned.

  3. 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 2257 kJ/kg at the normal boiling point), both of ...

  4. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma ), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight per unit volume of a material. A commonly used value is the specific weight of water on Earth at 4 °C (39 °F), which is 9.807 kilonewtons per cubic metre or 62.43 pounds-force per cubic foot.

  5. Methanol (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanol_(data_page)

    Data obtained from Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 10th ed. and CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed. The annotation, d a °C/ b °C, indicates density of solution at temperature a divided by density of pure water at temperature b known as specific gravity. When temperature b is 4 °C, density of water is 0.999972 g/mL. % wt. methanol.

  6. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    The term specific heat may also refer to the ratio between the specific heat capacities of a substance at a given temperature and of a reference substance at a reference temperature, such as water at 15 °C; [5] much in the fashion of specific gravity. Specific heat capacity is also related to other intensive measures of heat capacity with ...

  7. Ethanol (data page) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_(data_page)

    Mass concentration, g/ (100 ml) at 15.56 °C. Density relative to 4 °C water. Density at 20 °C relative to 20 °C water. Density at 25 °C relative to 25 °C water. Freezing temperature, °C. 10 °C. 20 °C. 25 °C.

  8. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density ( volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho ), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume.

  9. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1] It is typically a number between 0 and 2, rounded to five ...
