EVALUATION OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS BY STATISTICAL ERROR ANALYSIS (COMPILATION OF SELECTED VALUES FOR THE SPECIFIC VOLUME OF COMPRESSED WATER).

For the purpose of generating the most reliable and internally consistent selected values from the available experimental information about the thermodynamic properties of fluids, a new statistical method of error analysis is proposed. The established method was applied to the available PVT-data of the compressed water for the range of pressures up to 200 MPa and temperatures up to 600 K. The evaluated results seem to be quite satisfactory and here a set of selected PVT-values with the estimated uncertainties is proposed in a form of the most reliable tabulated values for this property of water of essential importance.
