Evaluation of Gas-Graphite Suspensions as Nuclear Reactor Coolants. Final Report

Description: ALL survey was made of experimental and theoretical work pertaining to the use of a suspension of graphite particles in a gas as a nuclear reactor coolant. Following a general review of the state-of-the-art and a detailed study of recent experimental data, it was concluded that present theoxy and experimental data are encouraging but inadequate as a basis for reactor design. Especially lacking are both theoretical and experimental work defining the hydrodynamic and thermal requirements for prev… more

Dimensional Behavior of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor Fuel Element at Elevated Temperatures

Description: The Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) fuel assemblies consist of a cluster of seven fuel elements contained in a graphite sleeve. Each element is composed of hollow cylindrical UO/sub 2/ pellets encapsulated in a type 304 stainless steel tube. The dimensional behavior of the fuel element was determined in an apparatus which simulated the thermal conditions predicted for the EGCR. Particular emphasis was placed on determining the relationship between the fuel temperature and axial expansion… more

MAGNETIC FIELD MEASUREMENTS IN A CYLINDRICAL PINCH TUBE

Description: Magnetic field measurements in a cylindrical linear pinch tube with probes are described. Tests are performed with a discharge current frequency of 20 kilocycles in nitrogen at an initial pressure of 0.1 mm Hg. Initial capacitor voltage is varied from 1000 to 5000 volts. The magnetic field distribution, the radial current distribution, and the current density in the pinch tube are described. The discharges are concluded to be symmetric above 2000 volts. The symmetric discharges have distinct ch… more

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HIGH-FLUX FREE CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER TO WATER UP TO NEAR-CRITICAL CONDITIONS

Description: An investigation was made to increase the basic knowledge of nucleate and film boiling heat transfer to fluids up to their critical pressures. An extensive literature survey of the subject indicated a scarcity of consistent data and an absence of proven methods for analysis. This situation led to the design and construction of experimental apparatus suitable for measuring rates of free convection heat transfer and associated temperature differences for fluid conditions up to 4000 psi and 800 de… more

Development of a Ti-Al-Cb Alloy for Use at 1200-1800 F

Description: >Titanium-base alloys containing major amounts of Nb and Al are being studied to develop new high-temperature alloys of low density. Findings derived from the preparation and examination of quaternary alloys containing small additions of Sn, Hf, or Zr; high-purity ternary alloys, and ten-pound melts of Ti-l5Nb-10A1 and Ti-l7.SNb-l5Al are presented. In a number of alloys, improved tensile properties and oxidation resistance resulted from the addition of Sn, Hf, or Zr, and in some instances very … more

Holweck Type Mollecular Pump

Description: The general design of a Holweck-type molecular pump is considered. The design consists of a stationary helical pumping groove cut inside a cylindrical bore and a closely fitting smooth cylindrical rotor spinning concentrically inside this housing. Approximate analytical expressions were obtained for the pumping speed and ultimate pressure ratio of this type pump. (J.R.D.)

HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION RESISTANT COATINGS FOR TANTALUM BASE ALLOYS

Description: Aluminide and beryllide coatings were investigated for tantalunn, a binary Ta-10 W alloy, and a ternary alloy, Ta-10 Hf-5 W. Coatings were applied by dipping, packing, cold spraying, and vapor deposition. Oxidation resistance was evaluated by furnace testing, resistance heating, and flame testing. Internal hardening and diffusion effects were also studied. A Sn-Al coating was developed that had excellent oxidation resistance for 10 hours to at least 3000 deg F. Evaluation was extended to arc-pl… more

TWO-PHASE PRESSURE DROP IN A NATURAL CIRCULATION BOILING CHANNEL

Description: Experimental two-phase pressure drop data were obtained from a 1/4 x 2 x 60-in. vertical, uniformly heated, test section. The local volume fraction of steam was measured simultaneously with the pressure drop, thus allowing separation of the terms for hydrostatic and acceleration pressure drops from the over-all static pressure drop. The results are expressed in terms of an averge two-phase friction factor multiplier, R = DELTA P/sub TPF// DELTA P/sub L/O/sub ,/ and are co mpared with the Martin… more
