Experimental theoretical and numerical investigation of natural convection heat transfer from heated micro-spheres in a slender cylindrical geometry

The ability of coated particles of enriched uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel to withstand high temperatures and contain the fission products in the case of a loss of cooling event is a vital passive safety measure over traditional nuclear fuel requiring active safety systems to provide cooling. As a possi...
