Heat transfer transition of fuel rod caused by CRUD growth
Whether the growth of corrosion-related unidentified deposit (CRUD) layer on fuel rod cladding enhancing or deteriorating heat transfer is still unclear due to the harsh reactor core environment, complex CRUD micro-structures as well as internal boiling. This study investigates the process of CRUD growth over a fuel cycle under varying operational conditions and builds a database encompassing heat transfer coefficient, morphological features, CRUD interior and surface thermal resistances. Based on the database, a heat transfer model by considering CRUD in terms of boiling number, chimney area and Darcy number is developed through parameter sensitivity analysis and multiple linear regression, and the relative error is within ±12 %. By comparing the heat transfer coefficients between CRUD-covered rod and bare rod, the heat transfer transition caused by CRUD growth can be predicted concisely and intuitively. Overall, the increase of CRUD interior thermal resistance gradually counteracts the boiling enhancement effect of CRUD porous morphology, leading to a transition from enhanced to deteriorated heat transfer.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
