I found that the density of the critical steam at my desired Temp/Pressure of 500C/4,500 psi would be 120 kg/m^3. I then multiplied this by the (volume of autoclave-volume occupied by floating, sealed quarts tube) which was 24.1ml. From this, I said that I needed 2.904ml of water inside the...

Homework Statement I'm trying to revive an old project a previous grad student had been toying with. Essentially, the reaction requires a sealed quartz tube (with a dilute acid) to be placed ("free-floating") inside a thick walled-autoclave capable of well over 40,000 PSI. The reaction is run...
