HIGH TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF SODIUM

Abstract

An experimental program was established to measure thermophysical properties of sodium and sodium vapor which will be required in the design of turboelectric systems utilizing sodium ass the working fluid to 2500F. This report covers the status of the measurement program and presents thermoelectric stability data for several noble metal thermocouples at 2500F.
