In this research our objective was to find out temperature profiles for ITER based loop.From this experimental loop,we already got variation of corrosion deposition thickness with respect to temperature and pH.But these variation of thickness was measured on specific points.So,our purpose was to discover temperature at each and every point.By finding temperature at each point,we can relate it to ACPs value.Because one of the major source of ACPs in ITER is considered by the corrosion products.To analyze temperature along whole loop,we used computational fluid dynamics(CFD).CFD is widely used across the world to solve the problems related to fluid and other fields.In CFD analyses,we used finite element analysis(FEA)methodology to solve temperature profiles by suing available boundary conditions.These fixed boundary conditions provided values to solve thermodynamic cycle of this loop.This thermodynamic system was solved by using CyclePad software,which is widely known in America to solve thermodynamic equations.This system analyses provided us further temperature values and boundary conditions for CFD analysis.Later part of the research thesis,show the experimental results and simulated results.By comparing both results we know the temperature at each point of the ITER based loop.We can conclude that if temperature is high at constant pH then more chances of corrosion deposition and if more corrosion deposition then more chances of ACPs,and radiat:ion dose.Because we have explained some expert's results which show that major part of ACPs is produced by corrosion deposition and dust particles.These results helps to predict ACPs'production and there hazardous effects.As the leak with waste water of power plant,while having high value of radiation dose.
