The heat capacity of liquid metals

Heat capacity of the liquid-liquid mixture nitrobenzene and dodecane near the critical point.

The heat capacity of the liquid-liquid mixture nitrobenzene-dodecane has been measured for the first time near its upper critical consolute point using an adiabatic calorimeter. The theoretical expression for the heat capacity near the critical point was applied to our combined data runs. The critical exponent alpha was determined to be 0.124+/-0.006, which was consistent with theoretical predi...

Heat capacity of rare earth metals near the melting point and the vacancy mechanism of melting

The vacancy mechanism of the melting process is utilized as a starting point for deriving the formula for the difference of the heat capacity of the liquid and solid metal in the neighbourhood of the melting point. From these calculations it follows that the difference C,, C,, is the same for all the metals and equals 3.50 J g.atom-' K-'. This result is compared with the existing in the literat...

Heat Treatment of Metals

Ferrous metals include cast iron, steel, and the various steel alloys, The only difference between iron and steel is the carbon content. Cast iron contains more than 2-percent carbon, while steel contains less than 2 percent. An alloy is a substance composed of two or more elements. Therefore, all steels are an alloy of iron and carbon, but the term “alloy steel” normally refers to a steel that...

Freezing of simple liquid metals

Freezing of simple liquid metals and the relative stabilities of competing crystalline solids are investigated using thermodynamic perturbation theory, the interactions between ions being modeled by e€ective pair potentials derived from pseudopotential theory. The ionic free energy of the solid phase is calculated, to ®rst order in the perturbation potential, using classical density-functional ...
