GPHS Module Pre-Impact test Temperature Prediction with ANSYS [PowerPoint]
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The purpose of the project was to: Develop a finite element thermal model of the General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS) Module loaded with four fueled clads; Perform steady state analysis to validate the thermal model via energy balance; Perform transient thermal analysis to predict clad temperatures at various times; and, Transient model results will be used to inform module soak time needed to reach a desired clad temperature prior to impact.
