1 Discussion of Heat Transfer in Nuclear Reactors Spencer Hovey and Nathan Clark ME 340—Heat Transfer Dr. Vladimir Solovjov December 7 th, 2005

2 Layout of a Nuclear Reactor

3 Heat Transfer Steps Through Nuclear Reactor Fission-product energy in fuel Conduction through fuel rods Transfer across fuel-clad gas gap Conduction across clad Transfer from clad surface to coolant Forced convection in coolant out of core Steam GeneratorTurbineCondenser

4 Heat Transfer Characteristics of the Nuclear Process 1. Conduction through the Fuel Rods 2. Conduction Across the Clad 3. Forced Convection in Coolant Out of Core
