Abstract

The p-V-T relationships of the molten alkali nitrates (Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) were determined using a gas-pressurised, externally-heated pressure vessel. The cells were the pyknometer type with a long capillary barrier between the pressurising gas and the bulk of the liquid. Data, over a range of temperature from 500 to 800 K and a range of pressure to 1400 bar, were plotted in the form of isochores and used to determine densities and compressibilities of the liquids.
