Howard, V C

The thermal conductivity of UC with a density of approximates 10.5 g/cc was measured at 80 deg C and found to be 0.031 plus or minus 0.003 cal/cin-sec - deg C. From this result, the thermal conductivity of UC with theoretical density (13.6 g/cc) is estimated to be 0.041 plus or minus 0.004 cal/cm-sec- deg C, well below that of U metal. The previously published higher values for UC are examined and concluded to be erroneous. (D.L.C.)
