ThermalSS316Properties

Stainless steel 316 thermal properties.

Description

This userobject provides thermal properties for stainless steel 316 as a function of temperature using curve fits of data in Mills (2002).

All units are given in SI, such that the input temperature is Kelvin, and the output units of the thermal conductivity are W/mK, the output units of the isobaric specific heat capacity are J/kgK, and the output units of the density are kg/m.

Thermal conductivity is given as

Uncertainty on the original tabulated data for thermal conductivity is 10%, and the value of the curve fit is 0.9960.

Isobaric specific heat capacity is given as

Uncertainty on the original tabulated data for isobaric specific heat capacity is 5%, and the value of the curve fit is 0.9926.

Density is given as

Uncertainty on the original tabulated data for density is 3%, and the value of the curve fit is 0.9995.

Range of Validity

The properties are valid for 25C T 1300C.

Input Parameters

  • T_zero_e273.15Temperature at which the specific internal energy is assumed to be zero [K].

    Default:273.15

    C++ Type:double

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:Temperature at which the specific internal energy is assumed to be zero [K].

  • allow_imperfect_jacobiansFalsetrue to allow unimplemented property derivative terms to be set to zero for the AD API

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:true to allow unimplemented property derivative terms to be set to zero for the AD API

Optional Parameters

  • control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

    C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

    Controllable:No

    Description:Adds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.

  • enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:Yes

    Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.

Advanced Parameters

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Unit:(no unit assumed)

    Controllable:No

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.

    Default:False

    C++ Type:bool

    Controllable:No

    Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
