EZFLOW was developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for hydraulic analyses of raw water and condensate piping networks in nuclear power plants. It satisfies nuclear quality assurance criteria and incorporates TVA`s established hydraulic design standards into its menu-based user interface. It has several input, solution, and output capabilities that are not usually available in general-purpose network codes. EZFLOW models afford great flexibility in analyzing degraded conditions, abnormal operating conditions, and design changes in complex networks consisting of large numbers of components. Successful applications of EZFLOW include emergency equipment cooling water systems, residual heat removal service water systems, auxiliary feed water systems, and high pressure fire protection systems.
