Heat / energy relation
Posted: Tue May 31, 2022 5:00 pm
Hello,
I'm trying to etablish a relation between reactor temperature (Celsius) and power output (Watt).
Let's say I have a single reactor that is not connected to anything, has no fuel and has a base temperature of 1000°C. In such situation the temperature will stay the same because nothing is "consuming" it.
Now let's say I connect a single heat exchanger which consumes 10MW. The temperature of the reactor will slowly decrease beacuse the heat exchanger is consuming it.
The question is : how much time does it take for the reactor to reach 0°C ? In other words, how many power (Joules) are stored in thoose 1000°C ?
Thanks!
