Thermal expansion of benzene at high pressure determined by a calorimetric method, its behavior near melting

The piezothermal method was used to determine the thermal expansivity of benzene up to 4 kbar along 9 isothermal paths, in the range 250–350 K. It is shown that, in the solid phases, the thermal expansion is a function of volume only. This property which appears to be typical of the solid phase stil...

Summary:The piezothermal method was used to determine the thermal expansivity of benzene up to 4 kbar along 9 isothermal paths, in the range 250–350 K. It is shown that, in the solid phases, the thermal expansion is a function of volume only. This property which appears to be typical of the solid phase still holds in the premelting region. This suggests that premelting is concerned only with the evolution of the solid phase.
