Temperature distribution calculations in TRIGA fuel element after the pulse

  • 1. Inst. Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana (Slovenia)

Description

The computer program TEMPUL for calculating radial temperature distribution in a fuel element after the pulse operation is shortly described. It is based on one-dimensional diffusion equation for heat transfer in cylindrical geometry and implicit boundary condition at the element-coolant interface, defined by empirical boiling curve, which relates the heat flux from the rod and the difference between the fuel element surface temperature and water boiling point. As an example the results of such analysis of maximal allowed pulse at TRIGA Mark II reactor in Ljubljana are presented. (author)

Abstract (Slovenian)

V delu je kratko predstavljen program TEMPUL za racunanje radialne porazdelitve temperature v gorivnem elementu po pulzu. Osnova programa je difuzijska enacba za prevajanje toplote v cilindricni geometriji z implicitno podanim robnim pogojem na zunanji meji gorivnega elementa, ki je dolocen z empiricno podano vrelno krivuljo, ki povezuje toplotni tok iz gorivne palice in razliko med temperaturo na povrsini gorivnega elementa in temperaturo vrelisca vode pri danem tlaku. Kot primer uporabe programa TEMPUL so predstavljeni rezultati analize najvecjega dovoljenega pulza v reaktorju TRIGA Mark II v Ljubljani. (author)
