Hydrogen evolution and corrosion rates for an Alloy 800H flow‐through reactor operating under supercritical water conditions were determined. Experiments were performed in the temperature range of 650 to 750 °C both with deoxygenated feed water, with an O2 concentration of less than 10 μg L−1 (ppb), and with a high oxygen concentration of around 20 mg L−1 (ppm). Effective rate constants for hydrogen evolution during the corrosion of an Alloy 800H were calculated to be 2.52×10−11, 2.88×10−11 and 4.30×10−11 mol cm−2 s−1, for the reactor temperatures of 650, 700 and 750 °C, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
