N. Araki et al., MEASUREMENTS OF THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SODIUM-ACETATE HYDRATE, International journal of thermophysics, 16(6), 1995, pp. 1455-1466
Methods to measure the thermal conductivity, the specific heat capacit
y, and the heat of fusion of sodium acetate hydrate have been develope
d and the measured results have been reported for various concentratio
ns and especially for various supercooling temperatures. Thermal condu
ctivity was measured by using a probe method with a thermistor. The se
nsor element is very small, with a diameter of 0.5 mm and a length of
1.5 mm. Data for both the ordinary liquid and the supercooled liquid a
re smoothly connected to each other.
