armi.materials.lithium module

Lithium.

Warning

Whenever you irradiate lithium you will get tritium.

The literature references {property

enrichedNuclide = 'LI6'

Name of enriched nuclide to be interpreted by enrichment modification methods

applyInputParams(LI_wt_frac=None, LI6_wt_frac=None, *args, **kwargs)[source]
pseudoDensity(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]

Density (g/cc) from Wikipedia.

Will be liquid above 180C.

Notes

In ARMI, we define pseudoDensity() and density() as the same for Fluids.

setDefaultMassFracs()[source]
meltingPoint()[source]
boilingPoint()[source]
thermalConductivity(Tk=None, Tc=None)[source]

Wikipedia.

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