Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annotated Bibliography of Studies on the Density and Other Volumetric Properties for Major Components in Geothermal Waters 1928-74 Other components in the geothermal waters are almost always minor. Examples are aluminum compounds, fluorides, and bisulfides. Densities of these solutions have been neglected because 1) data for these components at temperatures above 100c are uniformly nonexistent, and 2) the salts are present in such minor quantities that they will have only a negligible effect on the overall physical properties of the geothermal water. The volumetric properties of sea water and its concentrates were included in the literature search. Sea water is similar to subsurface brines in that it is dominantly a nacl brine. However, sea water contains significant concentrations of magnesium and only traces of calcium, whereas subsurface brines contain significant concentrations of calcium and only traces of magnesium. The difference in the composition will have a significant effect on the chemical properties of the brine, but only a minor effect on the physical properties such as density. The period covered by this report is from 1928 to the present. Data available prior to 1928 were evaluated and the results are given in volume 3 of the International Critical Tables (national Research Council, The list contained here is as complete as a diligent search of literature and bibliographies would permit. With few noted exceptions, copies of all articles were used to prepare the annotation. The unitsof measurement cited in the annotation are those used in the reference. No conversion to the International System of Units (page and Vigoureux, 1972) has been made because that work would require a substantial effort, delay publication, and impair the timeliness of this bibliography. An evaluation of the quality of the data given in the cited references is beyond the scope of this report. The report is intended to supply the national geothermal effort with an immediate location of unevaluated data for use in preliminary calculations. The report will also serve as a basis for preparing tables of the densities of brines and for planning a future research effort on the physical and thermochemical properties of brines. In the section, Breakdown of bibliography by chemical species, however, we have noted those studies that contain data for temperatures at and greater than 100c. Those studies containing data for pressures greater than ambient (that is for the vapor-absent pressure-temperature region) are also flagged separately.
