Modeling of eutectic reaction between molten stainless steel and BC for severe accident simulations

Liu, X.*; Morita, Koji*; Yamano, Hidemasa   

On the basis of experimental results, growth of the eutectic material is modeled by the parabolic rate law. Heat and mass transfer processes are also modeled considering both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase changes of eutectic material. Thermophysical properties of eutectic material obtained from the experimental measurements are also included in the analytic thermophysical property model and analytic equation-of-state model.
