Abstract:Quenching characteristics of metallic vertical rod with an internal heater has been investigated in pure water and water-based nanofluid with alumina nanoparticles of 0.001% by volume. Initial temperature of the testing rod (12 mm diameter and 10 0 0 mm length) ranges from 200 °C to 250 °C. The internal heater may be used to simulate the decay heat generated by the nuclear fuel rod after the power plant shut- down. Tests have been performed with varied range of experimental conditions of decay heat, constant w… Show more
