A COMPILATION OF THERMAL PROPERTY DATA FOR COMPUTER HEAT-CONDUCTION CALCULATIONS

摘要

Thermal property data including density, specific heat, and thermal con¬ductivity have been tabulated against temperature, transition temperatures, and latent heats of transition for more than 1000 materials. These data have been collected from over 50 references, most of which contain extensive data tabulations and bibliographies. The data have been arranged on computer cards and magnetic tape in a format suitable for computer processing, with the materials identified numerically accord¬ing to a general and flexible classification system. An accompanying alphabetical index, also in card and magnetic tape form, describes each material, assigns it an identification number, references the sources of the data by code number, and codes the quality or reliability of the data. The gram-cm-sec-cal-°C unit system is used for all data. In addition to the data obtained from the sources listed, estimates also have been made for many materials for which data could not be found. This was done wherever the estimates appeared to be as accu-rate as measured values for similar materials.
