Temperature profile and power calculations in gas core reactors

Creators

Description

This paper deals with the calculation of the temperature profile and the power of a gas core reactor. Starting with the continuity equation and the equation for the radiative energy transport and the thermal heat conduction, a simple differential equation is obtained. The Uniform Density Diffusion Model (UDDM) is introduced which enables a first order estimate of the temperature and the power of a gas core reactor. 6 refs
