Numerical investigation of Prandtl number effect on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a nuclear fuel element
This paper investigates the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of liquid metal coolants (such as Sodium, Sodium potassium, Bismuth, Lead, and Lead–bismuth) flowing over a nuclear fuel element having non-uniform internal energy generation numerically using finite difference method. The Full...
