Cerium evaporation from an electron beam source

Abstract

Evaporation from Electron Beam (EB) source is the evaporation technique chosen in the AVLIS (Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation) process for Uranium enrichment. In order to obtain high efficiency, a precise knowledge of various phenomena such as convective flows in the liquid uranium, interactions between liquid and gaseous phases and between EB and gaseous phase, ... is required. For easier handling and measurements, basic studies on other metals (cerium) have been performed: experimental data on vapor flow rate and surface temperatures versus EB power and EB power densities, are obtained for liquid cerium. Results are compared with scaling laws derived from a simplified theory.
