Comparison of Results for Ten Analytical Heat Conduction Problems as Solved by the General Heat Transfer Code HEATING5 (Heat Engineering and Transfer in Nine Geometries)

摘要

This report documents the results of the verification effort recently completed for the general heat conduction code HEATING5. Objective was to verify HEATING5 for use in estimating the temperature distribution around a waste package after it is emplaced in a repository. The approach taken in verifying HEATING5 was to compare the solutions obtained with HEATING5 to the analytical solutions for a series of problems for which analytical solutions existed. Ten analytical problems and one sample problem from the original source of HEATING5, the Radiation Shielding and Information Center, were chosen to verify HEATING5's capability to solve steady-state and transient heat conduction, including problems with an applied surface temperature or heat flux, constant or time-dependent thermal conductivity, and constant or time-dependent heat generation. This study did not attempt to verify HEATING5 for problems that involve convection, radiation, or anisotropic thermal properties. (ERA citation 12:036498)
