The isochoric heat capacity was measured for D2O at a fixed density of 356.
075 kg.m(-3) and for H2O at 309.905 kg.m(-3). The measurements cover the ra
nge of temperatures from 623 to 661 K. The measurements were made with a hi
gh-temperature. high-pressure, adiabatic calorimeter with a nearly; constan
t inner volume. The uncertainty of the temperature is 10 mK, while the unce
rtainty of the heat capacity is estimated to be 2 to 3%. Measurements were
made in both the two-phase and the one-phase regions. The calorimeter instr
umentation also enables measurements of PVT and the temperature derivative
(partial derivativeP/partial derivativeT)(V) along Each measured isochore.
A detailed discussion is presented on the experimental temperature behavior
of C-V in the one and two-phase regions including the coexistence curve ne
ar the critical point. A quasi-static thermogram method was applied to dete
rmine values of temperature at saturation T-S(rho) on measured isochores. T
he uncertainty of the phase-transition temperature measurements is about +/
-0.02 K. The measured C-V data for D2O and H2O are compared with values pre
dicted from a recent developed parametric crossover equation of state and I
APWS-95 formulation.
