HTF fluid thermophysical properties - Pressurized Water was created by Sebastian Arancibia
Dear SAM team,

I would like to know the thermophyscal properties of pressurized water which I've searched in your data base and there is no such data. I have found other HTF fluid propeties like Therminol, Hitec or Dowtherm but none info about pressurized water.

I am testing physical parabolic trough by the way. I attached an image from the solar field section for any case.

Kind regards.

The density function is:

github.com/NREL/SAM/blob/67495e103be5b63a8f41fb88ef899b95a2a76821/src/materials.cpp#L567

Specific heat:
