Analytical Solution for the Transient Thermal Response of Volumetrically Heated Fixed Porous Nuclear Debris Beds
Abstract
An analytical solution is presented for the problem of the transient distribution of fluid and solid temperatures in a volumetrically heated fixed porous nuclear debris bed through which a single-phase fluid, either subcooled liquid or superheated vapor, is flowing. The one-dimensional, time-dependent Modified Dispersion-Concentric Model (D-C Model) is used in the analysis of this problem. The method of solution is based on transformations that reduce the equations and then the application of Green's function in a straightforward manner. The mathematical solution characteristics for the transient fluid and solid temperature distributions are analyzed for subcooled liquid flow and for superheated vapor flow. Also, the transient fluid and solid phase temperature distributions for infinite time are compared with steady-state experimental data. © 1988.
