LiH as an energy absorber Temperature profile in LiH, Issue and concepts to solve issues
MATERIAL CHARATERSITC: • High co-officient of thermal expansion compared to co-efficient of berryllium • Low melting temperature 961k • Variable conductivity (decreasing with temperature) • Explosive material
ISSUES: • Above 2 mw, LiH absorber starts melting at center (attached pdf file of calculation) • Decrease in conductivity with increasing temperature puts more resistance for heat flow. • Current design shows that heat transfer takes place only along radial direction3
SOLUTION: • Decreasing outside temperature: (attached excel sheet) • Passing law pressure gas between LiH absorber to cool LiH. (attached fig.) Since hellium and hydrogen both are ideal candidate for ionization cooling
