Calculate the wall shear stress, and the pressure drop between core inlet and outletof the core.What fraction of the electricity the plant generates is required to pump the coolant through the core?

1.Reactor Criticality(a)Starting from the ‘reactor equation’, ,but otherwise deriving all results that you use, show that, if the core and reflector diffusion coefficients are equal, the reduction in the critical radius of a spherical reactor when an infinite reflector is added is approximately one diffusion length. (b)Determine the critical core radius for such a reflected […]
