Abstract

Highlights: [•] A CFD model of oxygen mass transfer in LBE is developed. [•] The model is used to design a venturi type PbO mass exchanger. [•] The effect of re-circulation flow on the oxygen concentration is simulated. [•] Recirculation of 6% the total flow rate can prevent poisoning of the PbO spheres. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
