Visualization of Solidification Process in Lead-bismuth Eutectic

In this study, the heating experiments were performed using a rectangular test section and LBE phase change process was visualized by the energy-resolved pulsed neutron imaging at BL22 RADEN facility in J-PARC and the solid/liquid interface was identified from the radiograph and Bragg edge information. The transient location of the interface was compared with measured temperature profiles and it would be useful to evaluate the LBE thermal properties.
