Heat in a const. pressure/volume calculation

[guideonl]

Are you saying you can’t have liquid water at 100 C?

No! That's not what I'm saying. Unless you did'nt notice, the A-2 table is related to 300 deg K!

He said 300 K, which is about 27 C. I assume he's looking at saturation pressure values and mistaking the vapor one for the liquid one.

Please refer to A-2 table (I've attached above), and explain what for Cp & Cv values stand? The title is odd, its for ideal gases @ 300 deg K (27 deg C). Water at this temp. are not vapor but liquid, unless you assume pressure is lower than atm. pressure.

Oops. Sorry that was a typo on my part. I meant 300 K. But, even at 100 C (373 K) liquid water could, of course, still exist. But anyhow, what I am saying is that the value in the table from Moran et al, Introduction to Engineering Thermodynamics that the OP presented is for water vapor, not liquid water.

You most certainly can have water as vapor or liquid at 300K. You are dealing with liquid water and your table is for vapor, so clearly you are using the wrong table.

[edit] Look at table A-3 or A-4.

300 K, not 300 C. Your statement is still true at 300 K, of course.

Yep, fixed.
