Thermal properties of UPdSn and UCuSn

doi:10.2172/378870

Abstract

The authors report on the specific-heat and the thermopower of UPdSn and UCuSn, both of which order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures. Both compounds show similar behavior in the specific heat, and the large magnetic-entropy changes around T{sub N} are evidence for a large degree of 5f-electron localizations. The thermopower, on the other hand, behaves very different in the two compounds. While prominent features are seen in the temperature dependence of the thermopower of UCuSn, only weak changes are observed for UPdSn. This may indicate that, for these compounds, the thermopower response is due to mechanisms other than purely magnetic ones.

Numerous considerations influence the thermal design of an underground power cable, including the soil thermal resistivity, thermal diffusivity and thermal stability. Each of these properties is a function of soil moisture which is, in turn, a function of past weather, soil composition, and biological burden. The Neher-McGrath formalism has been widely used for thermal cable design. However, this formalism assumes knowledge of soil thermal properties (resistivity and diffusivity). For design purposes, these parameters should be treated statistically, since weather varies greatly from year-to-year. As well, soil thermal property surveys are normally required along the route to assess the thermal qualitymore »« less
Properties of unirradiated fuel element graphites H-451 and SO818. [Bulk density, tensile properties, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity]

Engle, G.B. ; Johnson, W.R. October 1976

Nuclear graphites H-451, lot 440 (Great Lakes Carbon Corporation (GLCC)), and SO818 (Airco Speer Division, Air Reduction Corporation (AS)) are described, and physical, mechanical, and chemical property data are presented for the graphites in the unirradiated state. A summary of the mean values of the property data and of data on TS-1240 and H-451, lot 426, is tabulated. A direct comparison of H-451, lot 426, chosen for Fort St. Vrain (FSV) fuel reload production, TS-1240, and SO818 may be made from the table. (auth)
