OSTI ID:4178406
An lBM-704 computer progrann was developed to correlate data on the adsorption of radioactive off-gases on charcoal. To perfect the design of charcoal beds, a series of experiments were run to determine the holdup time of krypton and xenon as a function of temperature, flow rate, and bed geometry. A carrier gas was fed continuously through a charcoal trap, a measured quantity of radioactive gas was injected instantaneously into the feed stream, and the activity of the gas leaving the trap was measured as a function of time. The experimental data were fitted with a curve and the output of the program consisted of final valves of constants, deviations between calculated and experimental curves, and cathode-ray-tabe plots of these curves. In most cases, the program fitted the experimental curves very closely. (M.C.G.)
