In many applications, the heat flux at the surface is known instead of the surface temperature. In addition, in some applications, like vacuum drying or high altitude flights, the pressure is below atmospheric pressure, so the rarefaction effects bec

Temperature Prediction of a TN-32 Used Nuclear Fuel Canister Subjected to Vacuum Drying Conditions

Autor: Megan Higley, Mustafa Hadj-Nacer, Miles Greiner

Publikováno v: Volume 7: Operations, Applications, and Components.

In this work, a geometrically-accurate two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model of a used nuclear fuel cask, that can contain up to 32 pressurized water reactor (PWR) used nuclear fuel (UNF) assemblies, is constructed. This model
