The value given for thermal conductivity, 142 W/(m-k), is very different from the values given by Fink and Leibowitz in "Thermal and Transport Properties of Sodium Liquid and Vapor" (ANL-95/2), for example, 87.22 W/(m-k) at 400K, 54.24 W/(m-k) at 1000 K.... See page 182. If the value given is for the solid, not the liquid, this needs to be explicit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Van.snyder (talk • contribs) 23:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
