Quarterly Progress Report No. 3 on the Measurement of the Physical and Chemical Properties of the Sodium-Potassium Alloy

Abstract

The alloys of potassium and sodium are under study as a heat-transfer medium. Physical and chemical properties, together with measurements of heat-transfer coefficients on an engineering scale, are being investigated. The status of active property measurements and all measured results obtained since the last Quarterly Report (NRL Report P-3057) are presented. Included are recent results on viscosity, boiling temperatures, freezing temperatures phase separation, handling, and other pertinent data. Where results are given on the property, a description of the current apparatus and methods is also presented. Changes in both apparatus and methods are necessary as dictated by experience.
