The thermal conductivities of sintered Al2O3 and UO2 were measured in the ranges 400° to 1700°C and 300° to 2100°C respectively. The conductivity values for Al2O3 agreed with those reported previously at all temperatures investigated. The conductivity of UO, decreased with increasing temperature to a minimum of 0.0050 cal per cm sec °C at about 1400°C, and then increased with increasing temperature to 0.0105 cal per cm sec °C at 2100°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
