A case study for Nuclear Waste
Depositories —Thermo-Mechanical coupled
analysis
|
|
Overpack is releasing heat of 995 W/m3 and
all the zones have been initialized with
temperature of 300Kat the surface with
thermal gradient of -.0.025.Temperature
variation along the tunnel have been
analyzed. This was a real case study from
some secret place from defense point of
view. |
