My post never posted! I may have used vortex-l-requ...@eskimo.com<mailto:vortex-l-requ...@eskimo.com> instead of vortex-l@eskimo.com<mailto:vortex-l@eskimo.com> because it never showed up on the forum. It was regarding 100g NI powder that Rossi says needs replacement every 6 months. I was looking at a 100g calibration weight and a 1 L container and realized just how lost this would become in the reactor. Even in powdered form it would not fill much more than the bottom of the container. In subsequent emails someone was saying they normally use 1KG of a support with a small amount of nickel powder but can no longer find it on the forum.
Please help me understand the physical arrangement here, We have 5? Thermistors separated in an 1100g mix of some support catalyst Zirconia? (1kg) and Ni powder (100g) located in a hydrogen pressurized 1 L reactor. I take it the metal reactor has some copper lining inside and is externally cooled by an intermittent water pump. I was originally assuming the reactor immediately turns any water to steam but in the second experiment with greater water flow and only a 5 degree delta I have to ask if the reactor is immersed in the coolant?
