Main vessel is an important structure of the
reactor that holds the entire radioactive primarysodium, core, grid plate, core support structure,inner vessel etc.
The inner vessel divides the sodium pool intohot pool (547C) and cold pool (397C).
The inner vessel is made of two cylindricalshells, viz. the upper shell of larger diameter
and the lower shell of smaller diameterconnected by a conical redan..

. The radial distance between the upper shell ofthe inner vessel and the cylindrical portion of themain vessel is only ~ 200 mm.
Because of this short gap, large thermalconductivity of sodium and minimal heat lossfrom main vessel outer surface to the safety
vessel, the main vessel temperature approachesclose to that of the hot pool in this zone.
. The junction between main vessel and top shieldis a critical point in CFBR.

. It is required to investigate the temperaturedistribution at this junction and its
dependence on the elevation of the thermalbaffle.
The location of this junction and the
elevation of the thermal baffle need to beoptimized.
CFD calculations are essential to develop adetailed understanding of thermal hydraulicsof main vessel cooling system.

The first step consists of modelling and meshing of axis symmetric mainvessel cooling system.
A 2d dp axis symmetric model is generated in GAMBIT which is a pre-processor for FLUENT.
The model is generated for six different sodium free levels from the triplepoint junction.
The six different cases are 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and300mm elevation of SFL from triple point junction.
The model for 50mm case is as shown in Fig 1 below. After generating the2d dp axis symmetric model the next step is discretization (Meshgeneration).
The continuum entities are argon, air gap, nitrogen, stainless steel, carbonsteel, insulation, radiation shield, emissivity inside, emissivity outside,adiabatic IHX and concrete wall.

A 2d dp axis symmetric CFD model is considered.
A radiation shield is provided 50mm below the top shield.
Natural convection effects in argon cover gas and inter-vesselNitrogen are modelled by ideal gas law.
The emissivity of sodium free level is 0.05, Steel Surfaces (CS/SS)exposed to MV argon is 0.2 and CS exposed to air is 0.8
The top surfaces of LRP, SRP and RS are maintained at 1200C.
The concrete is maintained at isothermal temperature of 550C.

For 100% power conditions, the sodium free
level is assigned with isothermal temperatureof 5470C for all the cases and is also assignedwith 2000C and 473.50C for 150mm of SFL.
For 100% power conditions, the inner vesselis maintained at 5470C, the sodium free levelbetween inner vessel and inner thermal baffleat 4800C, the outer thermal baffle surface at
4200C, and MV inner surface at 4200C for allthe cases.
