Transcribed Image Text:Required information
A cylindrical fuel rod (k = 30 W/m K) of 2 cm in diameter is encased in a concentric tube and cooled by water. The fuel rod
generates heat uniformly at a rate of 100 MW/m³, and the average temperature of the cooling water is 80°C with a
conveçtion heat transfer coefficient of 2500 W/m K. The operating pressure of the cooling water is such that the surface
temperature of the fuel rod must be kept below 200°C to avoid the cooling water from reaching the critical heat flux (CHF).
The critical heat flux is a thermal limit at which a boiling crisis can occur that cause overheating on the fuel rod surface and
lead to damage.
