THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IRRADIATED POLYPHENYL COOLANTS. PART III. THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4694529

The thermal conductivities of the polyphenyl mixtures used as organic coolaat in the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment (OMRE) were determined over the temperature range of 300 to 650 deg F. The thermal conductivities were found to decrease linearly with increasing temperatures: values for the unirradiated coolant were 0.080 and 0.071 Btu/hr-ft- deg F at 300 and 650 deg F, respectively. The thermal conductivity of the irradiated coolant containing 30 wt% high boiler decomposition products was approximately 8% higher thand that of the unirradiated coolant over the same temperature range.
