Eurofer97 thermal conductivity | eurofer97_thermal_conductivity()

The thermal conductivity of the first wall is assumed to be that of Eurofer97 using the relation below1 2:

K_{\text{Eurofer97}} = \frac{\texttt{fwbs\_variables.fw\_th\_conductivity}}{28.34}\left(5.4308 + 0.13565T - 0.00023862T^2 + 1.3393 \times 10^{-7} T^3\right)

Warning

The sources for the stated thermal conductivity relation above state that the relation is only valid up to 800K 1 2.
