Transcribed Image Text:25. Develop an algorithm, along with the program (in python), to find the temperature
distribution in the Problem 5.102
NOTE: Use the explicit finite differences method
5.102 Consider the fuel element of Example 5.9. Initially,
the element is at a uniform temperature of 250°C with
no heat generation. Suddenly, the element is inserted
into the reactor core causing a uniform volumetric heat
generation rate of q = 108 W/m³. The surfaces are
convectively cooled with T = 250°C and_h=
1100 W/m² K. Using the explicit method with a
space increment of 2 mm, determine the temperature
distribution 1.5 s after the element is inserted into the
core.
EXAMPLE 5.9
A fuel element of a nuclear reactor is in the shape of a plane wall of thickness
2L = 20 mm and is convectively cooled at both surfaces, with h = 1100 W/m². K
and T=250°C. At normal operating power, heat is generated uniformly within the
element at a volumetric rate of q₁ = 107 W/m³. A departure from the steady-state
conditions associated with normal operation will occur if there is a change in the
generation rate. Consider a sudden change to %2 = 2 × 107 W/m³, and use the
explicit finite-difference method to determine the fuel element temperature distribu-
tion after 1.5 s. The fuel element thermal properties are k=30 W/m • K and a =
5 × 10-6 m²/s.

The inner surface of the channel is at a uniform temperature of 600 K and the outer surface is at a uniform temperature of 300 K. From a symmetrical elemental of the channel, a two-dimensional grid has been constructed as in the right figure below. The points are spaced by equal distance. Tout = 300 K k = 1 W/m-K T = 600 K (a) The heat transfer from inside to outside is only by conduction across the channel wall. Beginning with properly defined control volumes, derive the finite difference equations for locations 123. You can also use (n, m) to represent row and column. For example, location Dis (3, 3), location is (3,1), and location 3 is (3,5). (hint: I have already put a control volume around this locations with dashed boarder.)
