Abstract
The vacuum thermal conductivity of the Apollo 12 fines is presented as a function of temperature for densities of 1300, 1640 and 1970kg/m 3. It is found to vary from about 10 −3W/m-°K at 100°K to about 3 x 10 −3W/m-°K at 400°K. The conductivity of the fines is found to be close to that of terrestrial basalt both under vacuum and at higher pressures. The thermal diffusivity is calculated from conductivity and specific heat data. Average values of the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and thermal parameter are also presented.
