Gibbs free energy:
'G'(H2O (v-l)) = -230 kJ/mol
molar mass:
M(H2O) = 2+16 g/mol
specific energy:
'G'/M = -230/18 kJ/g = -12.8 kJ/g
velocity:
^2(2|'G'/M|) = 160 m/s
Would a restriction slow the propagation of the wavefront, ie., if
the mixture was traveling through a tube that was 3/8ths inch at a
flow rate of 1.3 - 1.7 liter/min.? Thanks.
