Abstract: | This investigation deals with the application of finite element method to solve the thermohydraulic problem of laminar fully developed flow in the interior and wall sub-channels of finite fuel rod bundles. A variational principle has been used for the solution of the momentum and energy equations. Wall shear stress and temperature distributions, ƒRe and Nusselt numbers are obtained for the sub-channels of different configurations. The results are compared with solutions generated by collocation and finite difference methods. |
