Mass Transfer Coefficients and Interfacial Area in a One Stage Pulse Column (open access)

Mass Transfer Coefficients and Interfacial Area in a One Stage Pulse Column

Over-all mass transfer coefficients were determined independently of the interfacial area by considering the operation of the pulse column to be a stage- wise process. The calculated coefficients describe only the operation of the pulse column for the free rise of organic droplets through a stage, since in the downstroke the aqueous phase passes through the organic phase in the form of rivulets preferentially wetting the plates. The driving force for transfer was based on the aqueous phase concentrations. The mass transfer coefficient was found to increase when the interfacial tension was reduced. Two factors appear to affect the mass transfer coefficient as the pulse frequency is changed and are: a) recycle or backmixing which tends to decrease the coefficient through a reduction of acetic acid in both phases and thereby increases the interfacial tension, and b) turbulence which enhances the coefficient by reducing the continuous film resistance. The first is important at or near the lower flooding limit, but the latter is the controlling factor at higher frequencies. (D.L.C.)

Zero Field Magnetic Properties of Gadolinium Terbium, and Samarium (open access)

Zero Field Magnetic Properties of Gadolinium Terbium, and Samarium

The mutual inductance or apparent susceptibility due to the presence of the sample in a coaxial inductance coil was observed for Gd, Tb, and Sm in fields of a few gauss over the respective temperature ranges of 78 to 310 deg K, 78 to 235 deg K, and 4.2 to 150 deg K. A paramagnetic Curie point of 284.2 deg K was found for Gd. For Tb, a transition was found which occurred to within 1 deg of the predicted temperature of 220 deg K, and a second peak occurred at 229.4 deg K which is within 2 deg of the heat capacity peak. The 220 deg K peak exhibited hysteresis and time dependence. Extrapolation of Tb data to DELTA M = 0 yielded a Curie point of 235.6 deg K. No hysteresis was observed in the 14.8 deg K peak for Sm.

Research and Development of Metal Hydrides. Summary Report for October 1, 1958-September 30, 1960 (open access)

Research and Development of Metal Hydrides. Summary Report for October 1, 1958-September 30, 1960

A detailed study of the fundamental relations in the zirconium -- hydrogen system was made in order to clarify the many points of dispute and to evolve a complete picture describing all phases of this system. An engineering evaluation was made of means for utillzing the various high cross-section metal hydrides in shielding or control applications. These materials would combine the processes of thermalization and absorption. Consequently, they are of considerable interest for use in shielding or controlling epithermal reactors. (auth)

Equilibrium of the System Lanthanum Nitrate-Praseodymium Nitrate-Nitric Acid-Water-Tributyl Phosphate (open access)

Equilibrium of the System Lanthanum Nitrate-Praseodymium Nitrate-Nitric Acid-Water-Tributyl Phosphate

A study of the extraction characteristics of the three systems lanthanum nitrate--nitric acid--water--tributyl phosphate, praseodymium nitrate--nitric acid--water--tributyl phosphate, and lanthanum nitrate--praseodymium nitrate nitric acid -water--tributyl phosphate was conducted. The separation factors between praseodymium and lanthanum for the system lanthanum nitrate--praseodymium nitrate-nitric acid--water--tributyl phosphate were shown to be a function of the total nitrate concentration of an equilibrium phase and practically independent of solute composition. A method of predicting the concentrations of lanthanum nitrate, praseodymium nitrate, and nitric acid in an equilibrium phase of the system lanthanum nitrate--praseodymium nitrate--nitric acid--water--tributyl phosphate was presented. A comparison of the extraction characteristics of the system rare-earth nitrate--nitric acid--water--tributyl phosphate for the nitrates of lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, and samarium was made.

Radiation Hazards Encountered in Arc Melting Thorium (open access)

Radiation Hazards Encountered in Arc Melting Thorium

A project to provide information on the hazards associated wlth arc melting of Th is described. A general airsampling analysis was made to determine the separation, concentration, and distribution of Th daughter (decay) products throughout arc melting, machining, and forging processes found in a handling facility. The value of well coordinated health physics program is stressed in connection with potential health hazards and personnel protection. Building, equipment, and exhaust ventilation requirements for such a facility are discussed, along wlth special handling methods. (auth)

Laboratory Investigation of Decontaminating Solutions for Primary Loop Decontamination in the New Production Reactor (open access)

Laboratory Investigation of Decontaminating Solutions for Primary Loop Decontamination in the New Production Reactor

An investigation was made of methods for decontaminating the primary loop of the New Production Reactor (NPR). Decontamination factors ranging from fifty to several thousand were obtained with several different combinations of cleaning solutions. In general, fission product activity was removed to a lower residual level than was activated corrosion product activity, and carbon steel was easier to decontaminate than was stainless steel. It was necessary to completely remove the oxide film from the metal surfaces to obtain adequate activated corrosion product decontamination. Descaling procedures were also satisfactory for decontaminating fission product and uranium dioxide contamination. (M.C.G.)

Development of Liquid-Phase Sintering Techniques for Molybdenum Alloys. Final Report (open access)

Development of Liquid-Phase Sintering Techniques for Molybdenum Alloys. Final Report

An envelope-type microstructure produced by liquidphase sintering techniques was used to develop ductiIe molybdenum-base alloys for sodium-cooled fast reactor application. A total of 105 compositions was examined; 21 showed evidence of room-temperature ductility, and a number of other compositions appeared promising. The prerequisites for obtaining ductile liquid-phase sintered materials were demonstrated. The most ductile alloys produced are based on the Mo--Pd--Cu and Mo --W--Ni--Fe systems. Molybdenum-base compositions were developed which could be rolled to 90% reduction in thickness at room temperature. The compactibility of selected alloys with uranium at 750 deg C and liquid sodium at 650 deg C was studied. In both cases the presence of iron and nickel was found to be deleterious. Although alloys compatible with uranium were produced, the specimens exposed to liquid sodium all showed evidence of attack to varying degrees. Two compositions based on the Mo--W--Ni and W--Cr--Ni systems, respectively, appear to hold promise as potential canning materials for sodium- cooled fast reactor application. (auth)
