Analytical expressions for the heat capacities of alkali silicate liquids. [900/sup 0/ to 1800/sup 0/K]

Journal Article · · J. Am. Ceram. Soc.; (United States)
The available thermochemical data for silicate liquids and glasses indicate that the customary assumption of heat-capacity additivity is not valid, particularly for liquid silicates near 1000 K. Estimates are obtained for the heat capacities of KO/sub 0/ /sub 5/-SiO/sub 2/, NaO/sub 0/ /sub 5/-SiO/sub 2/, and CaO-SiO/sub 2/ liquids. The excess heat capacity of mixing of alkali silicates at 1000 K is: C/sub p//sup e/ = 8.0X/sub KO0.5/X/sub SiO2/ + 6.8X/sub NaO0.5/X/sub SiO2/ in units of cal mol/sup -1/ K/sup -1/. Analytical expressions are given for C/sub p//sup e/ for KO/sub 0/ /sub 5/-NaO/sub 0/ /sub 5/-SiO/sub 2/ and NaO/sub 0/ /sub 5/-CaO-SiO/sub 2/ liquids at 900 to 1800 K.
