armi.materials.lead module

Lead.

class armi.materials.lead.Lead[source]

Bases: Fluid

Natural lead.

propertyValidTemperature = {'density': ((600, 1700), 'K'), 'heat capacity': ((600, 1500), 'K'), 'volumetric expansion': ((600, 1700), 'K')}

Dictionary of valid temperatures over which the property models are valid in the format ‘Property Name’: ((Temperature_Lower_Limit, Temperature_Upper_Limit), Temperature_Units)

volumetricExpansion(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]

Volumetric expansion inferred from density.

NOT BASED ON MEASUREMENT. Done by V. sobolev/ J Nucl Mat 362 (2007) 235-247

setDefaultMassFracs()[source]

Mass fractions.

pseudoDensity(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]

Density in g/cc from V. sobolev/ J Nucl Mat 362 (2007) 235-247.

heatCapacity(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]

Heat capacity in J/kg/K from Sobolev.

density(Tk=None, Tc=None)

Return the density at the specified temperature for 3D expansion (in g/cm^3).

Notes

For fluids, there is no such thing as 2D expansion so pseudoDensity() is already 3D.
