Homework-9

Due:

Q) A fuel plate is fabricated from 0.3 cm thick 1.5% enriched uranium. The cladding is 0.25 mm 304 stainless steel. The coolant saturation temperature is 260 ^oC. The average thermal neutron flux is 2.5 X 10¹⁴ neutrons/cm² /s. The surface temperature of the clad is 350 ^oC.

Assume any missing data to answer the following questions:.

1) Write an expression of the heat generated per unit volume

2 What is the heat flux at the surface of the fuel?

3) What is the temperature at the fuel-clad interface?

4) What is the maximum fuel temperature, and where?

5) What is the minimum fuel temperature, and where?

6) How much heat (in joules) is transported to the coolant in one second and one hour?

Homework- 10

Q1) A spherical metal ball of radius r₀ is heated in an oven to a temperature of 600 ⁰F throughout and is then taken out of the oven and allowed to cool in ambient air at T_∞ = 78 ^oF. The thermal conductivity of the ball material is K = 8.3 Btu/h.ft.R, and the average convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the ball is h= 4.5 Btu/h.ft².R. The emissivity of the outer surface of the ball is ε = 0.6, and the average temperature of the surrounding surfaces is T_surr = 525 R. Assume the ball is cooled uniformly from the entire outer surface, answer the following questions:

a. write the heat conduction differential equation of the problem,

b. write the initial condition of the problem

c, write the boundary conditions for the cooling process of the ball.

Q2) Heat is generated in a spherical radioactive material, with constant thermal conductivity k = 25 W/m K, at a non-constant rate of qʹʺ = 45 /( πr/R_o ) W/cm³ . The radius of the sphere is R_o = 1.5 cm. Heat is dissipated to the surrounding medium at 25 ^oC with a heat transfer coefficient of 120 W/m² K. Calculate the surface temperature of the material and the total rate of heat dissipated to the surrounding. Assume 1D steady state operation.

A nuclear fuel element consists of a solid cylindrical pin of radius, r1 and thermal conductivity,...

A nuclear fuel element consists of a solid cylindrical pin of radius, r1 and thermal conductivity, kf. The fuel pin is in good contact with a cladding material of radius, r2 and thermal conductivity, kc. Consider steady state condition for which uniform heat generation occurs within the fuel at a volumetric rate, g (w/m3 ) and the outer surface of the cladding is exposed to a coolant that is characterized by temperature, Tsur and convection coefficient, h. a) Obtain equations...

A 3-m-internal-diameter spherical tank made of 1-cm-thick stainless steel is used to store iced water at 0°C. The tank is located outdoors at 18°C. Assume the entire steel tank to be at 0°C and thus the thermal resistance of the tank to be negligible. The heat of fusion of water at atmospheric pressure is hif = 333.7 kJ/kg. The emissivity of the outer surface of the tank is 0.75, and the convection heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface can...

Q. Unsteady conduction A large steel plate 0.02 m thick leaves a heat treating furnace at 425 oC. And the plate is plunged into water (at 25 oC) and cooled from both sides. How long does it take for the maximum temperature to reach 65 oC? For steel plate: thermal conductivity, k=30 W/m·K, density ?=7600 kg/m3, heat capacity cp=700 J/kg·K. Heat transfer coefficients: h=6000 W/m2·K in water. Please use two methods to calculate this question: (1) Directly apply the exact...

71 mm thick horizontal plate made of an opaque material of thermal conductivity k= 25 W/m-K. At the bottom, water flows at a temperature of T∞,w = 25C, whereas air flows at the top of the plate at T∞,a = 710 C having convection coefficient of ha= 71 W/m2-K. Assuming a diffused top of the plate that receives an irradiated flux of 7100W/m2, of which 30% is reflected back. The top and bottom surface temperatures are maintained at 43 C...
