Thermodynamic Properties and Equation of State for Solid and Liquid Aluminum
Н.В. Козырев, V. V. Gordeev
Abstract
High-temperature equations of state for solid and liquid aluminum were constructed herein using experimental data on thermodynamic properties, thermal expansion, compressibility, bulk modulus and sound velocity measurements, supplemented with phase diagram data (melting curve). The entire set of experimental data was optimized using the temperature-dependent Tait equation over a pressure range of up to 800 kbar and over a temperature range from 20 K to the melting point for solid aluminum and to 3800 K for liquid aluminum. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic and thermophysical parameters was described by an expanded Einstein model. The resultant equations of state describe well the totality of experimental data within measurement errors of individual variables.
