Syntax

Bc No_Coverage_Flux For Energy [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName | {ls} {a | b | c}] {@ | at | for | on | over} Mesh Extent Name [Touching TouchingMeshExtent | Opposing OpposingMeshExtent] = Vapor_Cooling [Using Data Specification Data Spec Name] [Power_Output = power_output | Flux_Output = flux_output | Toggle = toggle | Tboil = tboil]

Summary

Empirical relation for cooling due to vaporization of stainless steel.

Description

Flux is given by:

814373 (T-T_{boil}) - 2248.31 (T-T_{boil})^2 + 27.1683 (T-T_{boil})^3

For T-T_{boil} less than 170 and:

-310360000 + 3.272400 (T-T_{boil}) - 1808.4 (T-T_{boil})^2 + 2.7284 (T-T_{boil})^3

For T-T_{boil} greater than 170. For T-T_{boil} less than zero, no flux is applied

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Power_Output

If specified, the total (integrated) power of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the power_output argument.

Flux_Output

If specified, the average flux of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the flux_output argument.

Toggle

If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
