For each of the following sub-problems, output your results in an fprintf statement outside of your Matlab function files. Comment on the results you find. Do they make sense? Note, it may be a good idea to use e for formatting your numbers in your fprintf statement(s). Using the following test case data, a) σ = 3000b, N=1020_n b) a 100b, N= 1020 = cm³ 6 = 1014 cm 1014 =1013, cms c) σ = 1.5b, N = 1020,= complete the following sub-problems: i) Create a function that calculates the fission reaction rate based on the microscopic fission cross section, number density, and neutron flux. ii) Using your calculated reaction rates, create a separate function that calculates the volumetric heat flux, q", based on the reaction rate (in lecture 7B, volumetric heat flux is called volumetric reactor power). iii) Suppose our reactor is fueled with 264 UO2 fuel rods. Each fuel rod contains 296 fuel pellets that have a height and radius of 1.35cm and 0.41cm, respectively. Using your calculated volumetric heat flux and the above geometrical information, create yet another separate function that calculates the total core thermal power.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To complete the subproblems we need to create three separate MATLAB function files that calculate the fission reaction rate volumetric heat flux and t... View the full answer
