TCI--AN AUXILIARY ONE DIMENSIONAL TRANSIENT CONDUCTION CODE FOR USE WITH THE ART, SPY AND TER REACTOR DESIGN CODES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4220596
An auxiliary code entitled TCI is described which is used in connection with large transient thermal design codes such as ART, SPY, and TER. TCI is coded in FORTRAN interpretive language for the IBM-704 EDPM. The basic problem solved by TCI is that of obtaining the transient temperature distribution in a single axial node of a plate type fuel element given the power, flow, and temperature history of that node from the output of the design code. Once this distribution is known as a function of time, several supplemental calculations are performed to aid the design engineer in verifying the calculational model utilized in the design codes and/or in obtaining other required data. Although the TCI code is primarily designed to work in connection with the transient desgin codes, it is useful for any problem where a one-dimensional temperature- time history of a solid is desired.
