Abstract
Experimental data on the equation of state of liquid metals are summarized to show that a corrected entropy of melting can be taken as a constant for all metals and that the specific heat in the liquid has a universal dependence on the ratio of the temperature to the melting temperature. From these correlations, together with the Lindemann law for melting, an approximate equation of state for liquid metals is developed.
