EFFECT OF A THERMAL GRADIENT ON THE HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION IN A METAL. APPLICATION TO THE SODIUM REACTOR EXPERIMENT
The distribution of a gas dissolved in a metal under a thermal gradient and constant pressure is considered. Expressions for the concentration gradient and the over-all concentration necessary for compound formation are derived. The derived equations are applied to the problem of the distribution of hydrogen in the zirconium cans of the Sodium Reactor Experiment. It is shown that if the overall hydrogen concentration exceeds 4 x 10/sup -4/ atoms of hydrogen per atom of zirconium, delta -phase zirconium hydride will form at the cooler part of the zirconium cans.
