BEHAVIOUR OF METALS UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE

Thermo physical properties of metals (Cu, Al, Au, Ag, Pb, Pt, Zn, Ti, Zr and Fe) have been studied under high temperature and high pressure using equations of state (EOS). Isothermal and isobaric equation of state have been used to predict the values of thermal expansion, compression, expansivity, compressibility and bulk modulus from the range of room temperature and atmospheric pressure (T0,0) to melting temperature and transition pressure (Tm, P). Despite of the study of temperature dependence of thermo physical properties, an analysis of pressure dependence of compression (V/V0), compressibility (αP) and bulk modulus (KP) of metals, is also given in the book.
