Abstract:
Flowable behavior of lithium-based liquid tritium breeder was simulated through the liquid GaInSn alloy. The liquid metal GaInSn and quenching oil combine together to simulate the liquid dispersion insulation phase, thus forming the flowable tritium breeder. A flowable metal with low conductivity characteristics was prepared. The liquid metal GaInSn alloy and liquid dispersed insulation phase quenching oil were mixed to form a new fluid. The influence of magnetic flux, mixing ratio, and temperature on the viscosity of new fluid was studied, and the conductivity change of fluid with the addition of dispersed insulation phase quenching oil was tested. Results show that when the magnetic induction intensity exceeds a certain value, the viscosity of the fully liquid metal is significantly higher than that of the composite material with quenching oil, indicating that the addition of quenching oil can effectively reduce the MHD effect, and the composite material with quenching oil has lower flow resistance under a strong magnetic field. The conductivity is approximately exponentially decreased with increasing the addition of quenching oil. The conductivity of the flowable tritium breeder increases abruptly after standing for a period of time, and then stabilizes again at the new conductivity level. If the breeder is re-mixed ultrasonically, the conductivity will reduce to its original level, suggesting that this material can be recycled in practical applications. © 2023 Rare Metals Materials and Engineering Press.
