Abstract

Saline water properties are essential for desalination and water treatment technologies. These properties could be classified into thermodynamic and thermophysical properties. Thermodynamic properties are saltwater concentration, density, specific heat capacity, latent heat of vaporization, boiling point elevation, vapor pressure, specific enthalpy, specific entropy, and freezing point. Thermophysical properties are viscosity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, osmotic coefficient, activity coefficient, surface tension, and thermal expansivity. This chapter introduces these properties and explains the difference between pure water and saline water. In addition, the estimation of saline water concentration, salinity, molality, and molarity are presented. A roadmap of the book content is exposed.
