520 3 |a An isopiestic experimental facility for the measurement of vapor pressures has been designed, fabricated, and commissioned. Using the vapor pressure data as a function of temperature, useful thermodynamic properties of alloys and compounds of interest can be derived. The isopiestic facility comprises a pair of furnaces, temperature controllers, thermocouple movement mechanism, user interface, and data collection. Four such experimental setups have been commissioned. This experimental facility is useful to determine the vapor pressures of a volatile component over the condensed phases as a function of temperature and composition. Using the vapor pressure data, the thermodynamic properties of various systems can be determined. The experimental setup was validated by a Pr-Cd isopiestic run, and the results are compared with the data reported in the literature. © 2022 Author(s).
