Abstract
A high-pressure research of triolein with addition of small amount of methyl alcohol has been made. A cylindrical chamber with a simple piston system has been used to generate pressure. Changes of pressure, volume, temperature and capacitance were collected using an advanced data acquisition system. In this paper, we present volume changes as function of pressure. An improved method of volume measurement has been applied allowing for very accurate measurement of piston position with accuracy of 0.01 mm. Since the high-pressure phase transition in triolein was presented in Siegoczyński [R.M. Siegoczyński, Reports of the Institute of Physics, Publishing House of the Warsaw Technical University of Technology, No. 46 (1998)], authors have checked an influence of methyl alcohol on this phase transition.
