Abstract

Based on experimental data on thermalproperties, we have constructed tables of thermodynamic fonctions for superheated potassium vapor, and these include the values of the specific volume v, enthalpy h, entropy s, isobaric C p and isochronous C v heat capacities, speed of sound A, coefficient of compressibility Z, and they encompass areas of parameters related to pressure P=0.1–10.0 MPa and temperature T=1075–2150 K.
