Fisher, C R; Achener, P Y

The characteristics of Rb and Cs at temperatures up to about 2000 deg F are being investigated. The current program includes studies of the boiling heat transfer and two-phase flow characteristics, and measurements to determine the latent heat of vaporization, density, specific heat, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity of the liquid phases of these elements. Work performed during the period is summarized. Results of the error analyses are given and details concerning the operating parameters for the heat transfer and fluid flow work are included. The apparatus to be used to measure latent heat of vaporization, specific heat, and density is also described. (auth)
