DISTRIBUTION OF STEADY STATE TEMPERATURES AND THERMOELASTIC STRESSES IN A CYLINDRICAL SHELL WITH INTERNAL HEAT GENERATION AND COOLED ON BOTH SIDES OR ONLY ON ONE SIDE

摘要

General expressions for steady state temperatures and elastic thermal stress distributions are derived for a hollow fuel element cooled on both sides. The main simplifying assumptions consist of one dimensional heat transfer and a single medium. Dimensionless numerical results are plotted in the case of uniform internal heat generation and for constant thermal conductivity. Solid rods and flat plates are treated as special cases.
