Abstract:

The status of active physical and chemical property measurements on sodium-potassium alloys at this Laboratory and all measured results obtained since the preceding Quarterly Report are presented. Certain studies of a long-term nature - including those on specific heat, thermal conductivity, surface tension, and contaminants (the latter by radioactive tracers) - are continuing, but there is little to report at this time. The modified specific heat apparatus, however, was used to measure the specific heat up to 450 degrees C of the alloy containing 46 weight percent potassium, and these result are reported. Measurements of magnetic susceptibility were made at the Univ. of Kansas under an ONR contract and are included.
