ICONE23-1936 EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND VISCOSITY OF LIQUID In-Bi-Sn EUTECTIC ALLOY (FIELD'S METAL) FOR USE IN A NATURAL CIRCULATION EXPERIENTAL LOOP

This work experimentally determined the viscosity and thermal conductivity of In-Bi-Sn eutectic alloy (Field's metal), which possesses a melting temperature of 333 K. The Field's metal was fabricated at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) in Oshawa, Canada. The work will include a discussion of the non-Newtonian behaviour of Field's metal and the thermal dependence of both viscosity and thermal conductivity. The work used a …
