Abstract

Results are given of measurements of ultrasonic speed in liquid oxygen near the phase-equilibrium line and in the metastable (superheated) region. The experiments have been carried out along isotherms in the temperature range from 115 to 146 K. The depth of penetration into the metastable region was 1.07 MPa. An equation approximating the experimental results is proposed. The stability of the superheated liquid in relation to infinitely small perturbations has been considered, and the ultrasonic speed determined at the spontaneous-boiling boundary. The spinodal and the isentropic spinodal are approximated.
