Values of the heat of concentration and heat capacity of sea water near room temperature have been measured experimentally. The heat of con centration values compare favorably with those calculated from the vapor pressure data given by Arons and Kientzler by use of the Clapeyron equa tion. The heat capacity agrees with the values re ported by Cox and Smith. Calculated values for the heat of concentration and boiling point eleva tion from 77° to 302° F. at salinities up to 9% are presented in both tabular and graphical form.
