Bee, R; Gardner, L R.T.

An algebraic expression is derived which expresses the end cap temperature of an idealized fuel element in terms of the can parameters and the uniform mid-can temperature. The problem of determining end-cap temperatures is thus reduced to a graphical/slide rule calculation. The effect upon end-cap temperatures of the variation of certain can parameters is discussed.
