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
profile T(r), where r is the radial distance from the centre of the pellet and fuel rod,

- Radioactive wastes are packed in a thin-walled spherical container. The wastes generate thermal energy nonuniformly according to the relation ġ = ġ, 1–(r/r.)* | where ġ is the local rate of energy generation per unit volume, ġ, is a constant, and r, is the radius of the container. Steady- state conditions are maintained by submerging the container in a liquid that is at T, and provides a uniform convection coefficient h. Coolant T, h - ġ = 4, [1– (rlr,²] 11arrow_forward!

- Show detailed step by step solution. Topic: Thermodynamicsarrow_forwardConsider the square channel shown in the sketch operating under steady state condition. The inner surface of the channel is at a uniform temperature of 600 K and the outer surface is at a uniform temperature of 300 K. From a symmetrical elemental of the channel, a two-dimensional grid has been constructed as in the right figure below. The points are spaced by equal distance. Tout = 300 K k = 1 W/m-K T = 600 K (a) The heat transfer from inside to outside is only by conduction across the channel wall. Beginning with properly defined control volumes, derive the finite difference equations for locations 123. You can also use (n, m) to represent row and column. For example, location Dis (3, 3), location is (3,1), and location 3 is (3,5). (hint: I have already put a control volume around this locations with dashed boarder.)

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
