Chapter 7. Heat generation
Heat generation and power output in a reactor are related. Reactor
power is related to the mass flow rate of the coolant and the
temperature difference across the reactor core.
2.16 DESCRIBE the power generation process in a nuclear
reactor core and the factors that affect the power
generation.
2.17 DESCRIBE the relationship between temperature, flow,
and power during operation of a nuclear reactor.
2.18 DEFINE the following terms:
- Nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor
- Average linear power density
- Nuclear heat flux hot channel factor
- Heat generation rate of a core
- Volumetric thermal source strength
2.19 CALCULATE the average linear power density for an
average reactor core fuel rod.
2.20 DESCRIBE a typical reactor core axial and radial flux
profile.
2.21 DESCRIBE a typical reactor core fuel rod axial and
radial temperature profile.
