The proposed design of a fuel element for a nuclear power reactor consists of 2-in.-diameter cylindrical fuel
Question:
The proposed design of a fuel element for a nuclear power reactor consists of 2-in.-diameter cylindrical fuel core surrounded by a 0.25-in.-
thick aluminum-alloy cladding. The outside surface of the cladding is kept at 200°F. The fuel core gives off heat at the rate of 5.8 × 107 BTU/h ft3. For safety reasons, the aluminum-alloy temperature cannot exceed 800°F at any point. Is the proposed design satisfactory? Data: kaluminum alloy = 118 (1 −
4.90 × 10−4 T) where T is in °F and kaluminum alloy in BTU/h ft°F.
