Scientific paper

The feasibility of a technique for measuring the thermal conductivity of lunar core samples was investigated. The thermal conduction equation for a composite cylinder was solved to obtain a mathematical expression for the surface temperature of the core tube filled with lunar material. The sample is heated by radiation from the outside at a known rate, the variation of the temperature at the surface of the core tube is measured, and the thermal conductivity determined by comparing the observed temperature with the theoretically expected one. The apparatus used in the experiment is described.
