  • Transient fuel pin temperature calculations using describing functions

    Creator:
    Guidotti, Timothy E.
    Abstract:
    An important element in rector safety and fuel performance assessments is the efficient calculation of the time dependent temperature profiles within reactor fuel pins. Because the fuel pins have temperature dependent thermal properties, the governing partial differential equations are nonlinear. Traditionally, finite difference or finite element methods have been used...
