Abstract

This paper discusses the motivation for gallium-cooling of targets of compact accelerator-based neutron sources (CANS); summarizes features of the low-power alternative, i.e., water cooling, and the limitations of boiling water heat transfer; lists the properties of liquid gallium; and cites its low hazards potential. I set out working equations for heat transport and fluid flow in liquid gallium and present a concept for a gallium-cooled system, including a scoping calculation of temperatures and pressure drops, and present conclusions and a recommendation.
