Thermophysical Properties of Lithium-Lead Eutectic Alloy for Use in Fusion Reactor Safety Analysis
ithium-Lead (LiPb) is one of the most attractive candidates for using as breeder, neutron multiplier and coolant in liquid blanket of fusion reactor systems. We need the thermodynamic properties of the reactor materials over a very wide temperature and pressure range for safety analysis of fusion reactors. In this contribution, a consistent set of thermodynamic and transport properties of LiPb eutectic alloy was developed for use in safety analysis of LiPb blanket in fusion reactor systems. Thermodynamic properties of LiPb were obtained using a van-der-Waals type equation assuming that the LiPb vapor was composed of monatomic lithium and the critical parameters is then determined. A modified Redlich-Kwong equation was used to represent vapor thermodynamic states. The liquid compressibility was estimated using the previous equation of state (EOS).
