Heat capacity and electrical resistivity of palladium in the range 1400 to 1800 K by a pulse heating method

Abstract

Measurements of heat capacity and electrical resistivity of palladium in the temperature range 1400–1800 K by a subsecond duration pulse heating technique are described. The results are expressed by the relations:

$$C_p = 32.19 - 5.966{\text{x10}}^{{\text{ - 3}}} T + 4.440{\text{x10}}^{{\text{ - 6}}} T^2 $$

(1)

$$p = 15.42 + 1.840{\text{x10}}^{{\text{ - 2}}} T$$

where C _p is in J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹, ρ in μΩ · cm, and T in K. Estimated maximum inaccuracies of the measured properties are: 3% for heat capacity and 1% for electrical resistivity.
