Lead-bismuth eutectic

TL;DR: In this paper, a review and assessment of the existing physical models are made and recommendations are made on correlations of heat transfer and turbulent Prandtl number for numerical applications to lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) flows.

TL;DR: The thermodynamic basis for controlling oxygen level in lead-bismuth to prevent steel corrosion and coolant contamination is examined in this article, where the operational conditions, including the thermodynamic activity of oxygen, cover gas oxygen partial pressure, mixtures of H2 and H2O (steam), and voltage signals of one type of oxygen sensors are calculated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of old and new data reported in the open literature on the main thermo-physical properties of the molten Pb and Pb-Bi: characteristic temperatures, latent heats of melting and evaporation, surface tension, density, heat capacity, viscosity, electric and thermal conductivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-selective dissolution of austenite followed by deposition of ferrite is proposed for selective leaching of lead-bismuth eutectic steels.
