Abstract

The importance of knowing superheated liquid properties, and of locating the liquid spinodal line, is discussed. The measurement and prediction of the spinodal line, and the limits of isentropic pressure undershoot, are reviewed. Means are presented for formulating equations of state and fundamental equations to predict superheated liquid properties and spinodal limits. It is shown how the temperature dependence of surface tension can be used to verify p - v - T equations of state, or how this dependence can be predicted if the equation of state is known.
