armi.reactor.components.complexShapes module

Components represented by complex shapes, and typically less widely used.

class armi.reactor.components.complexShapes.HoledHexagon(name, material, Tinput, Thot, op, holeOD, nHoles, mult=1.0, modArea=None, isotopics=None, mergeWith=None, components=None)

Bases: Hexagon

Hexagon with n uniform circular holes hollowed out of it.

THERMAL_EXPANSION_DIMS = {'holeOD', 'op'}

pDefs = <armi.reactor.parameters.parameterDefinitions.ParameterDefinitionCollection object>

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area for the hexagon with n number of circular holes in cm^2.

getCircleInnerDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

For the special case of only one single hole, returns the diameter of that hole.

For any other case, returns 0.0 because an “circle inner diameter” becomes undefined.

class armi.reactor.components.complexShapes.HoledSquare(name, material, Tinput, Thot, holeOD, widthOuter=None, mult=1.0, modArea=None, isotopics=None, mergeWith=None, components=None)

Bases: Square

class armi.reactor.components.complexShapes.Helix(name, material, Tinput, Thot, od, axialPitch, helixDiameter, mult=1.0, id=0.0, modArea=None, isotopics=None, mergeWith=None, components=None)

Bases: ShapedComponent

A spiral wire component used to model a pin wire-wrap.

Notes

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Helix.html In a single rotation with an axial climb of P, the length of the helix will be a factor of 2*pi*sqrt(r^2+c^2)/2*pi*c longer than vertical length L. P = 2*pi*c.

• od: outer diameter of the helix wire

• id: inner diameter of the helix wire (if non-zero, helix wire is annular.)

• axialPitch: vertical distance between wraps. Is also the axial distance required to complete

  a full 2*pi rotation.

• helixDiameter: The helix diameter is the distance from the center of the

  wire-wrap on one side to the center of the wire-wrap on the opposite side (can be visualized if the axial pitch is 0.0 - creates a circle).

is3D = False

THERMAL_EXPANSION_DIMS = {'axialPitch', 'helixDiameter', 'id', 'od'}

pDefs = <armi.reactor.parameters.parameterDefinitions.ParameterDefinitionCollection object>

getBoundingCircleOuterDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

The diameter of a circle which is encompassed by the exterior of the wire-wrap.

getCircleInnerDiameter(Tc=None, cold=False)

The diameter of a circle which is encompassed by the interior of the wire-wrap.

• should be equal to the outer diameter of the pin in which the wire is wrapped around

getComponentArea(cold=False)

Computes the area for the helix in cm^2.
