Summary
A theoretical analysis was made of the thermal stress developed in a reactor fuel tube which has uniform internal power generation but which has convective heat transfer at the outer surface such that an unsymmetrical temperature distribution is developed. This type of problem can occur in the design of a high-temperature gascooled reactor such as those contemplated for nuclear ramjet and rocket propulsion use. The temperature and stress distributions for a typical fuel tube are given in detail. The method of analysis developed is also applicable to other reactor problems such as the thermal stress analysis of pressure vessels, tubular flow channels, etc. (auth)
