Thermal conductivity of CsBi alloy in liquid state

Experimental data on the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of a liquid alloy CsBi of the equiatomic composition in the temperature range from the liquidus line to 1173 K have been obtained. The measurements were carried out on the basis of the laser flash method using a sealed steel cell. For studied properties the approximation equations and a table of recommended values are presented. The analysis of the obtained results confirms the existing assumption about liquid cesium-bismuth alloys as associated solutions. (paper)
