Required informetion A cylindrical fue! rod (k = 30 W/m K) of 2 cm in diameter is encased in a concentric tube and cooled by water. The fuel rod generates heat uniformly at a rate of 100 MW/m3, and the average temperature of the cooling water is 80°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 2500 W/m2.K. The operating pressure of the cooling water is such that the surface temperature of the fuel rod must be kept below 200°C to avoid the cooling water from reaching the critical heat flux (CHF). The crițical heat flux is a thermal limit at whictra boiling crisis can occur that cause overheating on the fuel rod surface and lead to damage. T(r.) é gen = 100 MW/m³ Cooling water Fuel rod D=2 cm 2500 W/m²-K
