Water - Heat of Vaporization vs. Temperature
Online calculator, figures and tables showing heat of vaporization of water, at temperatures from 0 - 370 °C (32 - 700 °F) - SI and Imperial units.
The (latent) heat of vaporization (∆Hvap) also known as the enthalpy of vaporization or evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance, to transform a given quantity of the substance into a gas.
The enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place. The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at a certain point called the critical temperature (Critical temperature for water: 373.946 °C or 705.103 °F, Critical pressure: 220.6 bar = 22.06 MPa = 3200 psi ).
Online Water Heat of Vaporization Calculator
The calculator below can be used to calculate the liquid water heat of vaporization at vapor pressure at given temperatures.
The output heat is given as kJ/mol, kJ/kg, kWh/kg, cal/g, Btu(IT)/mol and Btu(IT)/lbm.
Note! Temperature must be within the ranges 0-370 °C, 32-700 °F, 273-645 K and 492-1160 °R to get valid values.
For vapor pressure - check tables below.
