An Equation of State and Compendium of Thermophysical Properties of Liquid Tin, a Prospective Plasma-Facing Material

Conference Humrickhouse, Paul Weston

In this work we collect and summarize a variety of thermophysical properties of liquid tin, which is a prospecive plasma-facing material in fusion reactors. These include the thermodynamic properties density, specific heat, sound spead, and vapor pressure; transport properties such as thermal con- ductivity, viscosity, and surface tension; and hydrogen isotope solubility and diffusivity. The thermodyamic property data are used to fit an equation of state that accurately describes these, and which has been implemented in MELCOR for fusion in order to model systems featuring liquid tin PFCs and coolant loops. Few data on hydrogen solubility could be found, andmore »« less

An Equation of State for Liquid Pb83Li17

Conference Humrickhouse, P. W. ; Merrill, B. J.

Thermal hydraulic and accident analysis codes such as RELAP5-3D and MELCOR for Fusion rely on an equation of state to specify all the thermodynamic properties of fusion-relevant working fluids such as PbLi. The existing liquid metal fluid properties in both RELAP5-3D and MELCOR are based on a five parameter "soft sphere" equation of state for which parameter sets that approximately reproduce experiment data were available in the literature. The PbLi parameters were based on a linear, mass-weighted average of the parameters for pure Pb and pure Li, which does not always result in adequate agreement between the equation and experimentalmore »« less

A improved equation of state for Xe gas bubbles in γU-Mo fuels

Journal Article Beeler, Benjamin W ; Hu, Shenyang ; Zhang, Yongfeng ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

A monolithic fuel design based on a U-Mo alloy has been selected as the fuel type for conversion of the United States High-Performance Research Reactors (HPRRs). An issue with U-Mo monolithic fuel is the large amount of swelling that takes place during operation. The accurate prediction of fuel evolution under irradiation requires implementation of correct thermodynamic properties into mesoscale and continuum level fuel performance modeling codes. However, the thermodynamic properties of the fission gas bubbles (such as the relationship among bubble size, equilibrium Xe concentration, and bubble pressure) are not well known. This work studies Xe bubbles in ?U-Mo frommore »« less

Revised Equation of State for FLiBe in MELCOR

Technical Report Humrickhouse, Paul W. ; Merrill, Brad J.

The equation of state from which thermodynamic properties of FLiBe are derived in MELCOR for Fusion has been revised. The primary purpose of the revision was to ensure that the saturation pressure derived from the equation of state (via the Maxwell construction) is consistent with measured values; a large discrepancy existed in the prior equation. The form of the new equation and its parameters, which were adjusted to fit experimental data, are given here. It is shown that the new equation reproduces density, specific heat, sound speed, and vapor pressure data more accurately than previously.
