Abstract
The specific heat capacity of saline water is an important thermodynamic property for the estimation of the energy equation, thermal energy capacity, and industrial processes, including desalination. This chapter discusses multicomponent models, correlation, and data to estimate specific heat capacity at various salinity, temperature, and pressure values. The estimated specific heat capacity values from the correlations and methods are compared and assessed using experimental data from seawater. Based on their accuracy and operating conditions, some correlations and methods are recommended. In addition, the codes for the methods used to calculate specific heat capacity are provided.
