Cfd Prediction of Pressure Drop for the Inlet Region of a Pwr Fuel Assembly
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been widely used in pressure drop/hydraulic loss calculations in many industries, including the aerospace and turbo-machinery industry as well as in the nuclear power industry. During the past 30 years, a significant amount of time and effort have been spent in benchmarking the CFD tools and models against test data in aerospace and turbo-machinery industr...
متن کاملBurn-up Credit Criticality Benchmark Phase II-D PWR-UO2 Assembly Study of Control Rod Effects on Spent Fuel Composition
The OECD is a unique forum where the governments of 30 democracies work together to address the economic, social and environmental challenges of globalisation. The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisati...
متن کاملImproved PWR Core Characteristics with Thorium-containing Fuel
Thorium is an element for possible use as nuclear fuel, because of the fertile property of Th-232, which could convert into U-233 after neutron capture and beta decays. However, thorium based fuels have not been successfully implemented, because of the high cost and the higher complexity compared with once-through uranium fuel. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on thorium for use in tradit...
متن کاملFission Gas Release Comparison for PWR Duplex Fuel Pellets
Current research has identified Duplex pellets as an effective strategy for decreasing the centerline temperature of the fuel. However, before this design can be widely utilized several areas, including fission gas release, need to be better characterized. Therefore, this paper seeks to ascertain the relative difference in fission gas release between a standard solid UO2 reference design and a ...
متن کامل2d Natural Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer Simulations of a Pwr Fuel Assembly within a Constant Temperature Support Structure
Two-dimensional simulations of steady natural convection and radiation heat transfer for a 14x14 pressurized water reactor (PWR) spent nuclear fuel assembly within a square basket tube of a typical transport package were conducted using a commercial computational fluid dynamics package. The assembly is composed of 176 heat generating fuel rods and 5 larger guide tubes. The maximum cladding temp...
