Abstract

Using number theory, a formula is obtained that describes the thermal conductivities of ZrC, UC, UN, ThN, ZrN and ThxU1-xN at x = 0.2 and 0.5 with temperature change. This formula contains the atomic numbers of the elements, the thermal conductivities of the individual elements of the substance, and the structural parameter. There is no direct dependence on temperature in the formula, since it is hidden in the thermal conductivities of each element and in the structure parameter. In some temperature ranges, the structural parameter is constant; therefore, the thermal conductivity of some carbides and nitrides is expressed through summing the thermal conductivities of individual elements.
