Title Numerical Simulation and Study on Heat Transfer of
Fuel Rods in Pressurized Water Reactor (APWR)
Abstract
As a clean energy source, nuclear energy plays an important role in the
world today in meeting the demand for energy, the structure adjustment,
reducing environmental pollution and economic development. However,
nuclear power is like a rose with thorns which can not only bring love but
also make people seriously wounded. So nuclear safety analysis is the
primary condition for development of nuclear power. A nuclear reactor is
the heart of a nuclear power plant. Taking advanced pressurized water
reactor AC-600 for example, numerical calculations on heat transfer of the
reactor fuel rods have been done.
Numerical analysis on heat transfer of the reactor fuel rods have been done
using visual Fortran 90/95 Senior Software Developer tools. Rod internal
use unstructured grid numerical method to simulate thermal environment and
temperature distribution of the reactor core numerically. Analyze heat
flux distribution of the laminar, transition, turbulent regions in the
external flow field by engineering method.
Based on Fourier law and energy conservation equations, partial
differential equation of heat conduction in three types of coordinate
systems are derived. Conducting research on a single fuel rods, the
different boundary conditions and the geometry size (cylinder and
six-rowed column) are taken to consider. Obtain analytical solution of
steady-state partial differential equation of heat conduction of cylinder.
In unstructured grid, simulate the temperature distribution within the
fuel rods by finite volume method.
As the depth of insertion change in control rod, the reactor is at different
operating states. So does the heat. We could found when the control rod
is not inserted, the fuel rod temperature is significantly higher. When
the reactor is operating, changes in temperature field vary with core
temperature. Last, the regions of flows were researched considering the
facts. Analyze the laminar, transition and turbulent regions by
engineering method respectively.
