Integrated Compartment Method Application to the Transient Heat Transfer in Gas-Cooled Reactor

摘要

Integrated Compartment Method (ICM), an effective numerical integration algorithm, was developed to solve the transient heat conduction coupled with convection. Application of the ICM to the mathematical model simulating a graphite test structure heated in an annular flow stream of hot helium has been successfully demonstrated. However, the model validation can not be performed until experimental data become available. (ERA citation 08:029573)
