For an average BWR rod with Tco = 300°C, determine Tmax and Ta. Assume the following: • gap thickness is zero and thus R=Rfor • clad thickness is equal to Rco - Rfo, • steady state, • fuel density is equal to 95% theoretical density, • thermal conductivity of the fuel varies significantly with temperature, • clad is made of Zircaloy 2.
