HINDERED SETTLING RATES OF CONCENTRATED SUSPENSIONS OF URANIUM DIOXIDE IN SODIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4837144
Hindered settling rates were measured at 500 deg C for suspensions in sodium of dense UO/sub 2/ in the concentration range of 10 to 30 vol% solids. The data as correlated by Steinour's solidity function indicated agglomeration with a ratio of volume of liquid envelope to volume of solids equal to 1.2. Supplementary room temperature measurements with suspensions of UO/sub 2/ in either acetone or benzene gave similar results with a liquid envelope solid volume ratio of 0.8. (auth)
