Physical modelling of removing hydrogen from liquid aluminium conducted in URC-7000 reactor

Abstract

The research which visualizes the process of argon blowing through modelling agent in continuous URC-7000 reactor was carried out. Physical model was built according to the theory of similarity. Additionally, the measurements of modelling agent conductivity were done. As a consequence the obtained results enabled to determine the change of tracer concentration in the volume of the reactor.
