Thermodynamics of liquid uranium vaporization

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Water Chemistry Div.

Description

The vaporization of liquid uranium contained in single crystal cups of tantalum and tungsten was studied up to 3000 K using Knudsen effusion assembly. The flux of U(g) vapours effusing through the K-cell orifice was corrected for the solubility of Ta (or W) in liquid uranium and the equilibrium vapour pressure of liquid uranium was determined.
