THERMAL CONTACT CONDUCTANCE OF FUEL ELEMENT MATERIALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4164634

Measured thermal contact conductance data for joints between various metallic and non-metallic materials are presented. The apparatus used to obtain thermal contact conductance data in vacuum or gas atmosphere and at high thermal flux levels is described. Application of data obtained to problem of predicting conductance of a joint is discussed. (auth)
