armi.materials.magnesium module

Magnesium.

The data in this file exists for testing and demonstration purposes only. Developers of ARMI applications can refer to this file for a fully worked example of an ARMI material. And this material has proven useful for testing. The data contained in this file should not be used in production simulations.

class armi.materials.magnesium.Magnesium[source]

Bases: Fluid

propertyValidTemperature = {'density': ((923, 1390), '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)

setDefaultMassFracs()[source]

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

Returns mass density of magnesium in g/cm3.

The Liquid Temperature Range, Density and Constants of Magnesium. P.J. McGonigal. Temple University 1961.

Notes

For Fluids, ARMI defines this 2D pseudodensity is the same as the usual 3D physical density.

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.
