National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

The Thermodynamics of the Aluminum/Aluminum Vapor System.

AD713095

Publication Date	1970
Personal Author	Krieger, F. J.
Page Count	42
Abstract	The 18th in a series of mathematical investigations of the thermodynamics of ablative materials, the study considers aluminum over a range of temperatures up to 6000 deg K and pressures up to 1000 atmospheres. Two sets of equilibrium equations are used--one representing a pure gas phase, the other a heterogeneous system of gas and condensed solid or liquid aluminum. The gas phase of the heterogenous chemical system, like the homogeneous gas phase, comprises 3 gaseous species. Computational results are presented in both tabular and graphic form. The latter comprises (a) a conventional Mollier diagram in which specific enthalpy is plotted against specific entropy, with cross plots of temperature, pressure, and molecular weight of moles of condensed aluminum; (b) a plot of volume versus temperature for aluminum; and (c) a plot of vaporization temperature for aluminum and graphite at various pressures.
