Effect of PT/CT contact on the circumferential temperature distribution over a fully voided nuclear channel of IPHWR

In case of multiple failure scenario, such as LOCA with ECCS failure, the decay heat continues to raise the reactor core temperature, eventually leading to the core voiding. In such scenario the convective heat transfer becomes poor and the majority of the heat transfer from fuel bundle takes place...
