Abstract:
The temperature regime of a filtering unit being cooled after an accident at a nuclear power plant is considered. A mathematical model is developed; the model is based on three-dimensional equations of thermohydrodynamics and takes into account heat-transfer mechanisms (convection, heat conduction, and radiation). For the unit variants considered, the maximum value of temperature in the sorbing module is less than 300$^\circ$C, and the temperature reserve is 20–50$^\circ$C.
