The study of thermal properties of liquid metals using the method of temperature radial waves [Articol]

Abstract

The study of thermal properties of liquid metals and namely of fusion, conductivity and thermal capacity is motivated. The article describes the installation for experimental study of thermal characteristics of liquid metals for the temperature interval of 1000-2500k using the method of temperature radial waves. Heating of the investigated samples is carried out in vacuum by electron bombardment of their surfaces. Power modulation in the form of П is applied. The article describes two variants of application of the method of temperature radial waves: by heating the interior surface of the sample and by heating the exterior surface. The results of the investigation of the molar capacity of liquid metals, such as In, Ga, Tl are presented.
