ABSTRACT
We present direct measurements of the isothermal compressibility ( T) and thermal expansion coefficient (Rp) of liquid methanol using an expansion technique. The measurements of T were carried out along six isotherms from (208.17 to 298.16) K at pressures up to 101 MPa. For Rp, we have measured four isobars from (0.59 to 80.03) MPa from 195 K up to 300 K. Our experimental results of Rp(T) for the 0.59 MPa isobar exhibit a minimum around 224 K. A clear shift of the minimum to higher temperatures is observed as the pressure increases along the different isobars. Interestingly, the minima for the isobars of Rp(F) take place within a narrow range of densities, around 26.5 moladm-3 (about 3.15 times the critical density).
