Influence of Vertical Rib Size on UF6 Desublimation in Vertical Submersible Tanks

  • Published:
Atomic Energy Aims and scope

The predictables of non-stationary desublimation of UF6 in vertical submersible tanks with vertical ribbing were investigated by means of numerical modeling using a simplified three-dimensional mathematical model. The computational results for the average capacity of tanks with vertical ribbing with volume 1–4 m3 are given as a function of the width and length of the vertical. It is shown that the average capacity of tanks with vertical ribbing can be increased by changing the width and length of the ribs.
