PdPenetration
Penetration depth of palladium into the SiC layer of TRISO fuel particles
Description
The PdPenetration model computes the rate of palladium ingress into the silicon carbide (SiC) layer of a TRISO particle. Palladium is produced by fission and migrates towards the SiC layer and degrades it. The model proposed by Petti et al. (2004) was calculated by fitting in-reactor data to derive a correlation as a function of temperature. The correlation is given by:
where () is the rate of penetration of Pd into the SiC layer and () is the temperature of the SiC. Over a given timestep the average temperature is used for :
where is the temperature at the current timestep and is the temperature over the previous timestep. The total palladium penetration thickness is calculated as:
The correlation for Pd penetration is only temperature dependent and based on experiments with various amounts of initial Pd present. In reality a model for Pd should take into account the concentration of Pd available.
Range of Applicability
The palladium penetration model is assumed to be valid over all temperatures.

# This test verifies the implementation of the palladium peneteration model
# for SiC in TRISO fuel particles. The geometry is a 2D spherical shell of
# inner and outer diameters of 215 and 250 micrometers, respectively. The
# temperature is ramped linearly from 673.15 to 1673.15 K over 5.0e6 seconds
# using 5.0e5 second timesteps.
#
# The rate of palladium penetration (microns/day) is calculated by:
#
# P_{Pd}_dot = 38.232 * exp(-11342.3 / T) / 86400.0
#
# where T is the temperature. An incremental form is used to compute the total
# penetration thickness of the palladium. Therefore, the average temperature
# over the timestep is used for T. The current penetration thickness is given by:
#
# P_{Pd} = P_{Pd}_old + P_{Pd}_dot * dt
#
# The palladium penetration for the 10 timesteps compared to the analytical
# calculation is provided below:
#
# Current BISON Pd Analytical Pd

# This test verifies the implementation of the palladium peneteration model
# for SiC in TRISO fuel particles. The geometry is a 2D spherical shell of
# inner and outer diameters of 215 and 250 micrometers, respectively. The
# temperature is ramped linearly from 673.15 to 1673.15 K over 5.0e6 seconds
# using 5.0e5 second timesteps.
#
# The rate of palladium penetration (microns/day) is calculated by:
#
# P_{Pd}_dot = 38.232 * exp(-11342.3 / T) / 86400.0
#
# where T is the temperature. An incremental form is used to compute the total
# penetration thickness of the palladium. Therefore, the average temperature
# over the timestep is used for T. The current penetration thickness is given by:
#
# P_{Pd} = P_{Pd}_old + P_{Pd}_dot * dt
#
# The palladium penetration for the 10 timesteps compared to the analytical
# calculation is provided below:
#
# Current BISON Pd Analytical Pd
# Temperature (K) Penetration (m) Penetration (m)
