The speed of sound In liquid methanol has been measured at temperatures from 273 to 333 K and at pressures up to 280 MPa, using a phase comparison pulse-echo technique operating at 2 MHz. The density, the isobarlc thermal expansivity, the Isothermal compressibility, the entropy, the enthalpy, and the specific heat have been evaluated from the measured sound speed following a modified computational method. The derived density data were fitted to a 16-constant equation of state within the accuracy of the measurement. In the region of overlap, the experimental data agree well with those determined by direct measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
