Homogeneous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report for Period Ending July 31, 1955

8 5 6 2 0 5 8 5 5 ? 5 : tion of the HRT is summarized. The design of some reactor components is described, including fuel system line coolers, the thermal shield, instrument cubicles, the reactor cell air monitor, and sampling facilities. The important design specifications for the HRT fissionproduct adsorption system are outlined. The effects of fluid circulation on HRT stability, the results of the rupture of the fuel inlet nozzle on the pressure vessel, core tank temperature, and heat generation and temperature distribution in the control room area shield were examined. Operation of the HRT mockup loop is summarized. High generalized corrosion rates and U precipitation were observed when 50 ppm oxygen was used. Results from tests of HRT pumps, heat exchanger, sampler mockup, and reflex condenser and recombiner are presented. Design of the instrumentation in the control room area and fabrication of differential pressure and liquid level transmitters are reported. Thorium Breeder Reactor. Stability criteria, the effect of slurry settling on reactivity, and neutron losses due to coating the core tank with platinum bave been analyzed for the TBR. An economic study of partial fuel costs for one-region Pu-U reactors was completed. The design concept …

Steric Effects on the Formation Constant of Metal Chelates of Beta- Diketones (open access)

Steric Effects on the Formation Constant of Metal Chelates of Beta- Diketones

Evidence is presented which indicates that chelating ability may be greatly altered by changing the steric requirements of the ligand. A series of formation constants was measured for three beta-diketones. Thermodynamic values could not be obtained but relative concentration constants were. The constants obtained were correlated with each other and with the basicity of the reagent toward a proton. Each correlation indicated that the formation constants for the copper chelates of diisobutyrylmethane and dipivaloytmethane were low and exhibited large separation factors. However, relatively small separation factors were found for metal chelates which do not form square planar complexes. A simple method for determining the extent of enolization of beta-diketones and the kinetics of enolization is presented. The method makes uses of spectrophotometric measurements in the ultraviolet region. Correlations were observed between the pKa of the chelating agent, the kinetics of enolization, and the kinetics of hydrolysis of corresponding esters. Variations in the pKa and enol content were explained on the basis of steric effccts. A procedure for the separaticn of lithium from other alkali metal ions was developed, making use of the selectivity of dipivaloylmethane. The theoretical implications of this selectivity are discussed. Correlation of formation constants with a double …

Estimated Upper Bounds to the Half-Life of Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia, Hydrogen, Methane, and Propane (open access)

Estimated Upper Bounds to the Half-Life of Thermal Decomposition of Ammonia, Hydrogen, Methane, and Propane

An estimate was made of the upper bound for the half-time of dissociation at 100 atm for ammonia, methane, and propane at 2500 deg K and hydrogen at 5000 deg K. In each case a unimolecular reactron in the homogeneous gas phase was chosen as most suitable for this purpose. Slater's theory has been used to estimate the necessary frequency factors. The upper bounds to the half- time for dissociation range from 3 x 10/sup -7/ to 6 x 10/sup -6/ sec. Extrapolation of decomposition rate data obtained at --1000 deg C and 1 atm pressure gives smaller values for the half-time of dissociation. (auth)
