PHYSICAL AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF POTASSIUM
Abstract
This report is an up-to-date compilation of potassium physical and thermodynamic properties. Data for the solid phase is presented, where available, over a temperature range from 0 F to the melting point. Liquid and vapor physical properties are tabulated, in most cases, from the melting point to 2400 F. The thermodynamic compilation extends from 740 F to 2340 F and includes superheated vapor properties evaluated at pressures down to 0.1 psia. These properties are presented both on a table and on a Mollier diagram. Listed properties include density, viscosity, surface tension, electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat, vapor pressure, latent heats of fusion and vaporization, enthalpy, entropy, acoustic velocity, critical pressure and temperature, thermal neutron absorption and activation cross sections, ionization potential, and relative magnetic susceptibility.
