Bottom nozzle of nuclear fuel assembly provided with flow holes by utilizing layered aircraft airfoil structure
Embodiments of a bottom nozzle of a nuclear fuel assembly provided with flow holes by utilizing a layered aircraft airfoil structure are provided. The bottom nozzle not only increases efficiency of filtering foreign substances by minimizing a size of the flow holes by constituting a shape of flow holes into cross stripes but also prevents coolant water flow velocity drop through prevention of coolant water pressure drop by constituting a lateral sectional shape of the grid frames constituting the cross stripes into an aircraft airfoil type.
1. A bottom nozzle of a nuclear fuel assembly provided with flow holes, the bottom nozzle of the nuclear fuel assembly comprising:
a plurality of flow holes formed in a shape of cross stripes, wherein
a plurality of grid frames constituting the cross stripes are stacked while crossing the flow holes, thereby minimizing the size of the flow holes, wherein the grid frames are constructed by stacking first grid frames and second grid frames, and
a lateral sectional shape of the grid frames is provided to be curved to expand from a tapered form in the direction coolant water flows in and then to return to being tapered again by becoming pointy.
