Seawater Specific Heat

Seawater Specific Heat

Seawater Specific Heat

(OP)
I'm looking for Reference Tables containing values for specific heat and density of seawater at different temperatures. Anything available on the internet?

RE: Seawater Specific Heat

In Perry 6° Ed. You have
TABLE 2-215 Sodium Chloride
Specific heat, cal/g °C

Mole %  6°C   20 C   33 C     57 C
0.249              0.99
0.99         0.96  0.97   0.97
2.44         0.91  0.915  0.915    0.923
9.09         0.805 0.81   0.81     0.82

and there is something similar for density.
You should determine before the concentration of sodium chloride (the main dissolved salt )
Regards

RE: Seawater Specific Heat

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics gives the following values for Cp in J/(kg.K) and density in g/cm^3 for a water of salinity S=35. S is roughly the mass of dissolved material in grams per kg of water.
