Ferrocyanide safety program: Thermal analysis of ferrocyanide Watch List tanks, Group II
The purpose of this report is to document the results of a series of analyses conducted to determine the heat loads of the second of two groups of tanks on the Ferrocyanide Watch List. The analyses of the second group of tanks used the fill/transfer history and tank temperature data with a transient solution for the heat load determination. Nominal heat load values were determined, as well as the upper and lower bounds of the heat load. Because the waste level in most of these tanks was low, thermal conductivity estimation could only be made for two tanks. The method used in this report uses computer analysis of the tank and its contents, along with the temperature data obtained from in situ thermocouple trees, to determine the heat load of the tanks and the thermal conductivity of the waste. A computer model of the tank and its contents is used that also includes the surrounding soil, which is the main heat sink.
