Physical properties of SOLID lead

[marc-antoine-lafay]

Hello,

Could it be possible to have access to physical properties of SOLID lead depending on the largest temperature range as possible:

• density;
• thermal conductivity;
• heat capacity.

Thanks!

Hello @marc-antoine-lafay,

lbh15 focuses on the implementation of thermo-physical and thermo-chemical properties of heavy liquid metals as provided by the NEA handbook https://www.oecd-nea.org/jcms/pl_14972/handbook-on-lead-bismuth-eutectic-alloy-and-lead-properties-materials-compatibility-thermal-hydraulics-and-technologies-2015-edition?details=true. As such it is not intended for providing also properties for metals in the solid state. The README file provides further details on the scope of the package.

The features you require are not present in the current implementation of lbh15. If you are interested in the physical properties at the solid state, please provide references or specifications to follow for the implementation.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hello,

Thank you for this answer!

Lead freezing has been identified as a important issue (RDP-000-PSR-RGN-001 : "Experimental R&D Needs and Infrastructure for LFR" - §3.4.3). Thus thermo-physical properties of solid lead are mandatory for TH teams.

Here are some references. Could you "validate" them?

Thanks again,
Marc-Antoine

Files are too big :/

How to proceed?

Please, provide a bibliography with publicly-available items.

Files are to big to be shared here.

Hello :)

Any news?

Thanks!

Hello, as a member of the STH team, I also emphasize the need to have access to a library of the thermophysical properties of solid lead, as well as structural materials used in radioprotection ( see materials listed in LFR-030-WAD-RDC-001, page 13)
