- Description:
- Steady-state heat conduction with a heat source in a steel rod of complicated geometry plays an important role in determining the accuracy of calibration of a novel self calibrating gamma thermometer (SCOT) used in an axial power monitor (APM) for nuclear reactors. Because of the complicated geometry, an analytical solution is not possible. A numerical approach, on the other hand, lends itself in such cases as this. We consider a numerical scheme advanced by S. Patankar and apply it to steady- state two-dimensional heat conduction problems for various geometries and boundary conditions. Initially some examples with simple geometries and given boundary temperatures are dealt with to test existing as well as new computer programs. Subsequently more realistic geometries and known boundary heat fluxes are chosen in a stepwise approach to model actual conditions in an SCOT.
