Abstract
A modified cellular model of liquids is used to develop a method for calculating thermodynamic properties of liquid metals and their alloys, which are widely used in compact modern heat exchange equipment operating at high thermal flux densities. The approach presented herein permits calculation of the properties of metals from various groups by a single consistent technique. Good agreement was found with experimental data for a significant number of liquid metals and their alloys.
