ORINC: a one-dimensional implicit approach to the inverse heat conduction problem. [PWR]

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5309988· OSTI ID:5309988

The report develops an implicit solution technique to determine both the transient surface temperature and the transient surface heat flux of electrically heated rods given the power input and an ''indicated'' internal temperature during a simulated loss-of-coolant accident. A digital computer program ORINC (ORNL Inverse Code) is developed which solves a one-dimensional, transient, lumped parameter, implicit formulation of the conduction equation at each bundle thermocouple position in the Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF).
