Abstract

A perturbed hard-sphere equation of state for liquid alkali metals has been employed to calculate the liquid density of alkali metal alloys over a wide range of temperature. Two temperature-dependent parameters appear in the equation of state, which are universal functions of the reduced temperature, i.e., two scale parameters are sufficient to calculate the temperature-dependent parameters, and hence, to predict the equation of state. In this article, calculated results of the liquid density of binary molten alloys of Na–K and K–Cs over the whole range of concentration at temperatures from the freezing point up to several hundred kelvin above the boiling point reproduce accurately the experimental PVT data points.
