Thermo-physical properties for severe accident analysis

Multiphase Flow Dynamics 4

  • 1572 Accesses

Several modern aspects of the severe accident analysis can not be understood if the engineer does not have accurate information of the material properties for the participating structural materials in solid, in liquid and in some cases in gaseous states. Chapter 17 contains valuable sets of thermo-physical and transport properties for severe accident analysis for the following materials: uranium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, stainless steel, zirconium, aluminum, aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, iron oxide, molybdenum, boron oxide, reactor corium, sodium, lead, bismuth and lead-bismuth alloys. The emphasis is on the complete and consistent thermo dynamical sets of analytical approximations appropriate for computational analysis.
