CarbonMonoxideProduction
Computes CO production in oxide fuel based on the Proksch or GA correlation.
This Postprocessor computes carbon monoxide production in an oxide fuel block. The following two models are implemented: Proksch and GA. The GA and Proksch models only apply to a UO fuel kernel.
The GA model expects the surface temperature of the fuel kernel while the Proksch model expects the TRISO particle surface temperature.
GA model
The CO yield (atoms/fission) is given by (Kovacs et al., 1985):
It has a 0.625 limit (taken from PARFUME) while the original reference has a 0.61 limit. It is used primarily for comparison to historic evaluations. It applies only to UO.
Proksch model
The Proksch model uses the empirical correlation from Proksch (Proksch et al., 1982). It only applies to UO. Equation 1 in this paper is:
where is the oxygen release at the end of irradiation (atoms/fission), is the irradiation time (days), and is the time averaged particle surface temperature (K).
Converting time to seconds and solving for : where is the irradiation time and is the time integrated surface temperature of the TRISO particle (from coupled post processor). (Note that to get the time averaged surface temperature, the time integrated surface temperature is divided by total time.)
The Proksch paper further explains that the ratio is diffusion limited at an equilibrium maximum value given by Equation 2: where is the fission fraction of U and is the fission fraction of Pu plus Pu.
Only U fissions are included here ( = 1, = 0) such that is limited to 0.4.
Assuming all the oxygen forms carbon monoxide, CO yield .
CO Production
Assuming each oxygen atom combines with a carbon atom, and expressing the CO produced in moles: where is the time and volume integration of the fission density rate (from a coupled post processor).

# Tests the carbon monoxide production postprocessor
# A constant volumetric fission rate of 1e19 fissions/m^3-s is applied to a 1 cm cube.
# All sides of the cube are held at 1000K to force a constant average surface temperature.
# The problem is solved over ten time steps of 1e7 s.
#
# The total number of fissions is computed using:
# 1) the ElementIntegralPower post processor and specifying energy_per_fission = 1 to
# get the total fission rate
# 2) the TimeIntegratedPostprocessor post processor to time integrate the total fission rate
#
# The time integrated particle surface temperature is computed using:
# 1) the SideAverageValue post processor to give the time dependent average temperature
# over the particle surface
# 2) the TimeIntegratedPostprocessor post processor to give the time integrated average temperature
# over the particle surface
#
# At t=1e8 (after ten time steps)
# _total_fissions = 1e19(fissions/m^3-s)*(0.01m)**3*1e8
# = 1e21 fissions
# _time_avg_surf_temp = _time_int_surf_temp/total_time
# = 1e11/1e8
# = 1000K
#
# 1. For the Proksch model, the moles of oxygen (and thus carbon monoxide) are given by:
#
# moles CO = [_total_fissions*_t^2/((1.211e10)*10^(8500/(_time_avg_surf_temp))] / Avogadros_number
#
# moles co = (1e21*1e8^2/((1.211e10)*10^(8500/1000))) / 6.02214076e23
# = 4.336156561E-06 moles
#
# which is what the post processor gets
#
# 2. For the GA model, the moles of oxygen are given by:
#
# moles co = (1.64*exp(-3311/1000)) * 1e21 / 6.02214076e23 = 9.934452008E-05

# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.

# Tests the carbon monoxide production postprocessor
# A constant volumetric fission rate of 1e19 fissions/m^3-s is applied to a 1 cm cube.
# All sides of the cube are held at 1000K to force a constant average surface temperature.
# The problem is solved over ten time steps of 1e7 s.
#
# The total number of fissions is computed using:
# 1) the ElementIntegralPower post processor and specifying energy_per_fission = 1 to
# get the total fission rate
# 2) the TimeIntegratedPostprocessor post processor to time integrate the total fission rate
#
# The time integrated particle surface temperature is computed using:
# 1) the SideAverageValue post processor to give the time dependent average temperature
# over the particle surface
# 2) the TimeIntegratedPostprocessor post processor to give the time integrated average temperature
# over the particle surface
#
# At t=1e8 (after ten time steps)
# _total_fissions = 1e19(fissions/m^3-s)*(0.01m)**3*1e8
# = 1e21 fissions
# _time_avg_surf_temp = _time_int_surf_temp/total_time
# = 1e11/1e8
# = 1000K
#
# 1. For the Proksch model, the moles of oxygen (and thus carbon monoxide) are given by:
#
# moles CO = [_total_fissions*_t^2/((1.211e10)*10^(8500/(_time_avg_surf_temp))] / Avogadros_number
#
# moles co = (1e21*1e8^2/((1.211e10)*10^(8500/1000))) / 6.02214076e23
# = 4.336156561E-06 moles
#
# which is what the post processor gets
#
# 2. For the GA model, the moles of oxygen are given by:
#
# moles co = (1.64*exp(-3311/1000)) * 1e21 / 6.02214076e23 = 9.934452008E-05

# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach.

# This example is 1D spherical analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using an interface kernel to model gap mass transfer.
# Sorption constants are given in Table 1 of the following article: A.

# This example is 2D-RZ analysis of a TRISO fuel particle. Fully coupled
# heat transfer and solid mechanics, plus diffusion of the fission product
# species cesium (Cs) are simulated. The mesh includes contact surfaces
# between the buffer and IPyC layers to facilitate a gap opening between
# these layers. These surfaces are initially in mechanical contact but
# are assumed to have no strength in tension. A coarse mesh is used to
# provide a short run time.
# The calculation simulates fuel-life in three steps. The first step is an
# irradiation period, where constant power and a fixed particle surface
# temperature (1500 K) are assumed over a lifetime of 76 Ms (2.4 yrs).
# For the second step, fuel removal and storage are simulated by setting
# the reactor power and Cs source terms to zero, reducing the particle
# surface temperature to ambient (300 K), and then holding it
# for 100 days. A third and final step simulates accident
# behavior by increasing the particle surface temperature from ambient
# to 2073 K over 2 hrs, and then holding it at this elevated temperature
# for an additional 200 hrs. At the particle outer boundary, the Cs
# concentration is held at zero and the pressure at ambient during the
# entire simulation. The particle is assumed to be stress-free at an
# initial temperature of 1500 K.
#
# Details about this simulation are given in Section 4 of the following
# article: J. D. Hales, R. L. Williamson, S. R. Novascone, D. M. Perez,
# B. W. Spencer and G. Pastore, "Multidimensional multiphysics simulation
# of TRISO particle fuel", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 443, p. 531,
# 2013.
# This is a version using a thermomechanical mortar approach. It uses
# Automatic Differentiation classes and models gap mass transfer using
# flux preserving and sorption mortar constraints. Sorption constants are
# given in Table 1 of the following article: A. Londono-Hurtado, I.
# Szlufarska, R. Bratton and D. Morgan, "A review of fission product
# sorption in carbon structures", Journal of Nuclear Materials, Vol. 426,
