Run 300A-B Slurry Run of 300A Pump and Loop
Description:
The 300A and loop were operated for 2862 hr with thorium oxide slurry at 1500 psi and 280ºC to determine the effects vane inlet and exit geometries on impeller wear, the wear rate of aluminum oxide bearings in this size pump, and the operating characteristics of the loop. The thoris, a 1600*C-fired oxide, had a mean particle size of approximately 2 u. Average circulating slurry concentration was approximately 450 grams of thorium per kilogram of water and average flow rate was approximately 300…
