Texas A&M welcomes uranium conversion research
The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) has signed a research agreement with Quantum Leap Energy (QLE) “to advance and de-risk the commercial production of high-purity uranium hexafluoride (UF6).”
QLE is an Austin, Texas–based subsidiary of ASP Isotopes (ASPI), which is developing an isotope enrichment platform for applications in nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, and semiconductors. QLE specializes in the uranium conversion step of the nuclear fuel cycle—the conversion of yellowcake uranium concentrate (U3O8) into UF6 prior to enrichment.

This paper presents experiments carried out to study the influences of transverse vibration on horizontal gas-liquid two-phase flow. The experiments considered the transverse vibration over a wide range of vibration frequencies and vibration amplitudes. Five typical flow regimes were observed. The fluid flow conditions in steady state and transverse vibration were compared. The traditional flow regime transition lines did not match the gas-liquid flow in channel under transverse vibration. The results suggest that vibration frequency mainly affected the flow regime by promoting the aggregation of gas slug, while vibration amplitude mainly influenced the fluctuation height of the gas and liquid interface.
