Experimental Investigation of the Enthalpy and Heat Capacity of Liquid Cesium

Resumo

The enthalpy of liquid cesium in the temperature range from 431 to 976 K was measured by a drop method on an isothermal calorimeter. The approximation equation of enthalpy was obtained and the isobaric heat capacity was determined. The estimated errors in the enthalpy and heat capacity data are 0.5% and 1.5%, respectively. The obtained results are compared with the literature data. The position of the minimum heat capacity of liquid cesium was clarified (733 K). Tables of recommended values of caloric properties in the investigated temperature range were developed.
