Evaluation of Some Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Solid and Liquid Lithium over the Temperature Range 200 to 1700 K

摘要

Experimental data on the effects of temperature on the density, thermal expansion coefficient, specific heat, enthalpy, vapor pressure, compressibility, surface tension, viscosity, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity of lithium were reviewed. Comparisons of original data with handbook values revealed some cases in which the latter values should probably be revised. Empirical equations describing the recommended property values are included. 51 refs., 12 figs. (ERA citation 13:030561)
