Boiling Point Altitude Calculator
Calculate the boiling point of water at various altitudes for precise scientific experiments.
What is the Boiling Point Altitude Calculator & How does it work?
The boiling point of water decreases as altitude increases due to lower atmospheric pressure. This phenomenon can be described by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which relates changes in temperature and pressure.At sea level (0 meters), water boils at 100°C. For every 300 meters increase in altitude, the boiling point decreases by approximately 1°C.
\Delta T = \frac{L}{R} \ln\left(\frac{P_1}{P_2}\right)
\Delta T = change in boiling point, L = latent heat of vaporization, R = gas constant, P_1 = initial pressure, P_2 = final pressure
