The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to design, develop, and test new measurement techniques to gather thermophysical property data (e.g. thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat) on heat transfer medias (HTMs) and containment materials (CMs). An immersion sensor would be fabricated and used to take measurements at high temperatures with corrosive materials. Data from the tests would be coupled with existing data to create a publically-accessible thermophysical properties database hosted by the Georgia Tech University Library.
