Given: A graphite-moderated nuclear reactor. Heat is generated uniformly in uranium rods of 0.05m diameter at the rate of 7.5 x

107 W/m3. These rods are jacketed by an annulus in which water at an average temperature of 120 deg C is circulated. The water cools the rods with an average convection coefficient of 55,000 W/m2-K. The thermal conductivity of uranium is 29.5 W.m-K. Find: The maximum center temperature of the uranium fuel rods.

Answer:

The maximum temperature at the center of the rod is found to be 517.24 °C

Explanation:

Assumptions:

1- Heat transfer is steady.

2- Heat transfer is in one dimension, due to axial symmetry.

3- Heat generation is uniform.

Now, we consider an inner imaginary cylinder of radius R inside the actual uranium rod of radius Ro. So, from steady state conditions, we know that, heat generated within the rod will be equal to the heat conducted at any point of the rod. So, from Fourier's Law, we write:

Heat Conduction Through Rod = Heat Generation

-kAdT/dr = qV

where,

k = thermal conductivity = 29.5 W/m.K

q = heat generation per unit volume = 7.5 x 10^7 W/m³

V = volume of rod = π r² l

A = area of rod = 2π r l

using these values, we get:

dT = - (q/2k)(r dr)

integrating from r = 0, where T(0) = To = Maximum center temperature, to r = Ro, where, T(Ro) = Ts = surface temperature = 120°C.

To -Ts = qr²/4k

To = Ts + qr²/4k

To = 120°C + (7.5 x 10^7 W/m³)(0.025 m)²/(4)(29.5 W/m.°C)

To = 120° C + 397.24° C

<u>To = 517.24° C</u>

Which of the following sentences uses the active voice
MrRa [10]

Answer: Last week, Nate and I counted all the inventory.

Explanation: all other choices are passive voices

this sentence follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's why it is an active voice. In fact, sentences constructed in the active voice add impact to your writing. but on the other hand With passive voice, the subject is acted upon by the verb.

Derive the following conversion factors: (a) Convert a pressure of 1 psi to kPa (b) Convert a vol ume of 1 liter to gallons (c)
kirill [66]

Answer:

a)6.8 KPa

b)0.264 gallon

c)47.84 Pa.s

Explanation:

We know that

1 lbf=  4.48 N

1 ft =0.30 m

a)

Given that

P= 1 psi

psi is called pound force per square inch.

We know that 1 psi = 6.8 KPa.

b)

Given that

Volume = 1 liter

We know that 1000 liter = 1 cubic meter.

1 liter =0.264 gallon.

c)

1\ \frac{lb.s}{ft^2}=47.84\ \frac{Pa.s}{ft^2}

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined for a fluid flowing in a pipe as Re Durho/μ whereD is pipe diameter, u is f
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

the flow is turbulent

Explanation:

The Reynolds number is given by

Re=ρVD/μ

where

V=fluid speed=0.48ft/s=0.146m/s

D=diameter=2.067in=0.0525m

ρ=density=0.805g/cm^3=805Kg/m^3

μ=0.43Cp=4.3x10^-4Pas

Re=(805)(0.146)(0.0525)/4.3x10^-4=14349.59

Re>2100  the flow is turbulent

Note: if you do not want to use a calculator you can use the graphs to calculate the Reynolds number according to their properties
