Determination of Boiling Temperatures from Elastic Constants

Abstract

33 cubic and 11 hexagonal materials were selected to determine the boiling temperature of thematerials by regression analysis. The boiling temperatures of these selected materials were estimatedby regression analysis using the elastic constant and boiling temperature information in the literature.Variance and regression analyze were performed with MINITAB 17 software in 95% confidenceinterval. Regression coefficients were calculated with 98.9% determination coefficient. As a result ofregression analysis, an empirical relationship between the elastic constants and the boilingtemperature was obtained which predicts boiling temperatures for some cubic and hexagonalmaterials. The boiling temperatures calculated with the help of these relationships were comparedwith the literature data.
