STRUCTURES OF SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS FOR MULTI-
LAYER MEDIA AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO THE CALCULATION
OF FUEL–ELEMENT THERMAL FIELDS
M.A. Khazhmuradov
National Science Center “Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology”, Kharkov, Ukraine
The technique of constructing approximate solutions to heat conduction problems of media is presented. The cal-
culation is based on the structures of solutions constructed with the help of the left, normalized-to-the-first-order
equations of region boundaries and their characteristic parts. The structures of solutions contain uncertain compo-
nents, and whatever their choice may be, the boundary conditions and the conditions of medium conjugation are ful-
filled exactly. The arbitrary choice of uncertain components is used to satisfy the basic differential equation.

The thermal power of the reactor core is limited,
from the thermal viewpoint, by the maximal tempera-
ture of fuel and fuel element cladding. If the fuel ele-
ments have a finned, intricately-shaped surface, a gas
gap between the fuel and the cladding, or a multi-layer
structure, the existing methods of solving boundary-val-
ue problems give no way of taking into account these
limitations [1]. This paper describes the procedure of
solving boundary-value problems with mixed boundary
conditions and a complicated geometrical shape of fuel
elements.
Mathematically, the problem is presented in terms of
a boundary-value problem:

where F(x,y)=Q/V0 - specific power of heat evolution
(wt/m3, Q – heat evolution power), V0=πR0L=πd2L/4 –
volume of fuel element, s – number of areas, cΤ – am-
bient temperature.
The proposed approach of constructing approximate
solutions of boundary-value problems combines the
possibilities of the R–function method [2] to take into
account the complicated character of boundary condi-
tions (2) – (4) for intricately-shaped fuel elements
(Figs. 1, 2) and the properties of exact solutions to allow
for the effect of concentrated fuel elements.

According to the variation principle [3], the bound-
ary-value problem (1) – (4) is equivalent to the variation
problem of finding the function θs(x,y) that leads to the
minimum of the following functional on the set D(A):

n is the number of fins.
At а=0, the center of the circle forming the fin, will
lie on the axis 0Х. If а=0, then the centers of circles will
be on the circle of radius R1, i.e., on the boundary Г1.
The radius r can be used to control the size of fins and
consequently their number.

The integration over the regions Ωs and the bound-
ary cΓ was performed using the Gauss quadrature for-
mulas [6].
The approximate analytical solution of the bound-
ary-value problem (1) – (4), obtained with the help of
the proposed procedure, is written down as

sϕ are the temperature fields defined by the
boundary conditions.
Thus, the method is proposed for solving the bound-
ary-value problem with complicated boundary condi-
tions for conjugation of nonuniform media, and the con-
ditions of heat exchange between the surface of the sys-
tem and the environment. Structures from (6) to (8), de-
veloped for each constituent area, exactly satisfy the
conjugation conditions (2) – (4) at the boundaries
., 1+ΓΓ ss They have the properties of the passage to the
limit with decreasing distances between the boundaries
of contacting media. This is of importance, because with
fuel swelling Ω0 in nuclear fuel elements the clearance
between the fuel and cladding is reduced, and the
boundaries Г0 and Г1 are coming together almost in line
[7].
