If I have a sealed enclosure full of water (constant volume) at 25˚C at atmospheric pressure, I then heat the water to 50˚C. Would the pressure in the sealed enclosure change?
If the pressure has changed, how would I go about calculating the change?
Answer
Yes, at constant density, the pressure increases as the temperature does:
For example, having water sealed at atmospheric pressure at 4C∘C will have a density of approximately 1gcm3. If we increase the temperature to 30C∘C, maintaining the density (since the enclosure is sealed), the pressure will rise up to 100bar.
