Description

The thermal conductivity of heavy water was found to vary from 0.345 at 105 deg F through a maximum of 0.375 at about 265 deg F to 0.371 at 339 deg F. The conductivity was determined by a steady-state method in a cylindrical apparatus having an over-all length of 11.35 inches and a liquid layer about 0.061 inch thick. A temperature drop of approximately one degree Fahrenheit across the liquid was maintained. The temperature drop was measured with thermistors. The apparatus was calibrated with light water. The error in determining the conductivity of heavy water was estimated to be less … continued below

The error in determining the conductivity of heavy water was estimated to be less than 0.8% plus the uncertainty in known determinations for light water. (auth)
