Nuclear fuel rods. A typical nuclear fuel rod contains circular uranium oxide (UO2)
fuel pellets 10 mm in diameter and 5-mm thick stacked in a column to a length of
4 m inside a thin zirconium alloy tube, as shown below. The pellets generate heat
uniformly throughout their volume due to nuclear fission, with a power density a
(i.e., the heat power produced per unit volume of the pellet) that depends on their
235U enrichment. This heats up the water in the reactor to produce steam to drive
the turbine. Assuming that the rim of the fuel pellet is maintained at a constant
temperature Trim due to water cooling, show that the steady-state temperature

Inlet water temperature and water flow rate are varied to investigate effects on outlet water temperature, outlet air temperature, and outlet air humidity. The system is first observed operating with ambient room temperature water. A heat load is then applied to the water tank, and the system response is observed. This is to simulate a power plant starting up and placing a cooling load on the cooling water supply. The aim is to compare the system response with and without the load. Data from the Experiment and the make-up water mass flow rate are both shown in the following tables below. For the load cases, determine the net rate of water evaporation from the cooling water to the air using the equation for air flow rate. Compare this with the rate at which make-up water enters the system. For the load cases, determine the rate of work supplied by the pump and compare it to the pump power…arrow_forward

Develop an algorithm, along with the program (preferably in python), to find the temperature distribution in the example below NOTE: Use the explicit finite differences method EXAMPLE 5.9 A fuel element of a nuclear reactor is in the shape of a plane wall of thickness 2L = 20 mm and is convectively cooled at both surfaces, with h = 1100 W/m². K and T=250°C. At normal operating power, heat is generated uniformly within the element at a volumetric rate of q₁ = 107 W/m³. A departure from the steady-state conditions associated with normal operation will occur if there is a change in the generation rate. Consider a sudden change to q₂ = 2 × 107 W/m³, and use the explicit finite-difference method to determine the fuel element temperature distribu- tion after 1.5 s.
