Abstract

A set of high-temperature thermodynamic properties for sodium in the two-phase and subcooled-liquid regions has been predicted for the region between the low-temperature properties recommended by Golden and Tokar and the critical temperature. This set of high-temperature properties is recommended for consistent thermodynamic calculations in reactor safety analyses involving sodium.The saturation properties determined are: vapor pressure, liquid and vapor density, liquid and vapor enthalpy, liquid and vapor entropy, liquid compressibility (adiabatic and isothermal), liquid thermal-expansion coefficient, and liquid specific heat (constant pressure and constant volume).The subcooled-liquid properties determined are: pressure, enthalpy, entropy, compressibility (adiabatic and isothermal), thermal-expansion coefficient, and specific heat (constant pressure and constant volume).
