Plot the temperature profile from fuel centerline to fuel


A cylindrical fuel rod has a linear power rating of 467 W/cm. The radius of the fuel is 1.3 cm. The gap thickness is 0.08 cm. The fuel is Uranium DiOxide. The thermal conductivity of the gap is 0.009 W/cmK. The sheath is 0.12 cm thick made from Zircaloy 4. The heat transfer coefficient is 3.3 W/cm:K. The coolant temperature is 285 C. Plot the temperature profile from fuel centerline to the fuel and determine the value of the temperature at the fuel centerline, edge of the fuel, inner clad surface, and sheath surface.
