Density calculation for liquid alkali metals over the whole liquid range

Alkali metals are widely used in modern science and technology, due to their unique combination of physicochemical properties, such as extremely high electrical and thermal conductivities, small densities and viscosities, etc. The measurement of thermophysical properties of liquid alkali metals especially at high temperatures is very difficult since most liquid metals are reactive at high temperatures. Thus, the prediction of these properties using accurate equations of state (EoSs) appears at present to be the only alternative to the experimental difficulties associated with their measurements. Ghatee and Bahadori [۱] proposed a new EoS for cesium over the whole liquid range successfully. In this study, we have applied this EoS for all liquid alkali metals over the whole liquid range.
