An analytical and experimental effort toward a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in nuclear power reactor loss-of-pressure accidents is presented. A simplified analytical model which can be used to describe the transient hydraulic and heat transfer behavior of organic-cooled reactors during depressurization accidents resulting in bulk boiling of the coolant has been developed as part of this effort. Correlations of void fraction and heat transfer and dynamic equations for the flow system are incorporated into this model. Predictions of the hydraulic and heat transfer behavior were verified experimentally to establish the applicability of the model and equations involved over the range of variables listed below.
