armi.materials.potassium module

Potassium.

class armi.materials.potassium.Potassium

Bases: Fluid

Molten pure Potassium.

From Foust, O.J. Sodium-NaK Engineering Handbook Vol. 1. New York: Gordon and Breach, 1972.

propertyValidTemperature = {'density': ((63.2, 1250), 'C')}

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

pseudoDensity(Tk=None, Tc=None)

Calculates the density of molten Potassium in g/cc.

From Foust, O.J. Sodium-NaK Engineering Handbook Vol. 1. New York: Gordon and Breach, 1972. Page 18.

Notes

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

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.
