Abstract
In the present study, a thermodynamical formulation is developed to determine the melting temperature of alkali halides with increasing pressure. The model is used to estimate the melting temperature of alkali halides at different pressures qualitatively. The formulation is obtained using the Goyal and Gupta thermodynamic equation of state. The model calculations require the computed values of volume compression, bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative at varying pressures. It is noted from model calculations that melting temperature increases with pressure but not in linear manner. The present computed results for pressure dependent melting temperature are compared with the available simulated results. The approach is found to be valid as good agreement is observed between previous and present results. Graphs are plotted to depict the variation of melting temperature with isothermal pressure, thermal pressure and total pressure acting on the solid. The present study helps to understand the impact of pressure on melting temperature of alkali halides qualitatively. The model used can also extrapolate the results upto higher pressures.
期刊介绍:
High Temperatures – High Pressures (HTHP) is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers devoted to experimental and theoretical studies on thermophysical properties of matter, as well as experimental and modelling solutions for applications where control of thermophysical properties is critical, e.g. additive manufacturing. These studies deal with thermodynamic, thermal, and mechanical behaviour of materials, including transport and radiative properties. The journal provides a platform for disseminating knowledge of thermophysical properties, their measurement, their applications, equipment and techniques. HTHP covers the thermophysical properties of gases, liquids, and solids at all temperatures and under all physical conditions, with special emphasis on matter and applications under extreme conditions, e.g. high temperatures and high pressures. Additionally, HTHP publishes authoritative reviews of advances in thermophysics research, critical compilations of existing data, new technology, and industrial applications, plus book reviews.
