The extent of the changes depended on the temperature interval of each cycle. Thermal cycling in the α-range to an upper temperature of 550-600°C caused a directional deformation in textured uranium containing about 0-1 per cent carbon. The growth was accompanied by the development of porosity, and a consequent fall in density. After 5000 cycles, the density decreased by 8 per cent. Thermal cycling through both the α-β and β-γ phase transformations caused a rapid change in the shape of the uranium specimens, and rapid development of porosity. The drop in density, after 1000 such cycles, was 30 per cent.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100814,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Energy. Part B.

K<span>olin</span> has proposed another type of meter, in which a circular magnetic field is produced by an axial current flowing through liquid metal in the direction of flow. An e.m.f., proportional to flow rate, is induced between the centre of the pipe and the walls. In this paper, the characteristics of this, the current bearing liquid meter, are discussed. An alternative design, which may be termed the central conductor meter and which avoids some of the difficulties of the other axial current meter, is then discussed. Initial tests with mercury on a stainless steel central conductor meter are described and are fairly promising. The main advantages claimed for these meters are insensitivity to upstream flow disturbances and to variation in liquid/solid contact resistance, and the feasibility of using the meters even when the pipe walls have to be ferro-magnetic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100814,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Energy.
