thermodynamics - Water pressure vs temperature


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:


Temperature vs Pressure vs Density - Water.


For example, having water sealed at atmospheric pressure at 4CC will have a density of approximately 1gcm3. If we increase the temperature to 30CC, maintaining the density (since the enclosure is sealed), the pressure will rise up to 100bar.


Find equations describing the rate of change here.
