In fuel pin fabrication, there is no assurance that a
fuel pellet will be loaded concentrically. Therefore,
azimuthal variations exist in the temperature field giving
rise to asymmetry in the neutron flux distribution and pin
stresses. Calculations must be made to determine the two
dimensional temperature profile which may then...
In recent years there has been an increased emphasis being placed on the study of natural convection in various systems. The majority of studies have been concerned with concentric geometries. The studies oriented toward eccentric geometries have been very few and very specialized. The major emphasis of the studies have...
