On the Measurement of the Physical and Chemical Properties of the Sodium-Potassium Alloy

Abstract

An alloy of 44 percent potassium and 56 percent sodium (KNa 44) was tested in a natural circulation apparatus for pressure drop due to friction. Reynolds numbers were in the transition region between 2000 and 10,000. Darcy friction factors were calculated and compared with data on other fluids as published by L.P. Moody.
