| Summary: | One of the research topics that are still being developed today is the heat transfer <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
process that occurs in a nuclear reactor core. Heat transfer occurs in a nuclear reactor <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
core covering natural, forced or combined convection. The role of natural, forced and <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
combined convection in a nuclear reactor system are very important for safety <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
systems. By studying the natural, forced and combined convection the importance of <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
the safety limits, such as the allowed maximum power, minimum coolant flow rate <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
and the maximum temperature of cooling nuclear reactors will be obtained. The limits <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
of safety are important for determining the normal operating condition of a nuclear <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
reactor and its emergency action that has to be taken in the event of an accident. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Although convection correlation equations, especially the one for natural convection <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
is very important, its availability is still very low and its accuracy is also still limited. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This research is focused in observing the characteristics of natural, forced or <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
combined convective heat transfer at a vertical sub channel with triangular <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
arrangement of cylinders by using the FLUENT 6.3 computer software. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The objectives of this research is to find a correlation equation of natural, forced and <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
combined convective heat transfers. The Correlation equation can be compared with <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
experiments following this study. To support the results of experiments carried out, <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
so in this study will also do the design of the test model will be used in the <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
experiment. Numerical simulations conducted in this study also uses the same test <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
model that is used in the experiment. |
