Matsumoto, D D

The uses, method of analysis, and input requirements of VT THETA CL, a 709 program for reduction of exponential pile data are described. VT THETA CL is a revision of a previous code, to which additional options were added. The principal purpose of the code is the computation of material buckling by means of a least squares fit on vertical traverse data taken in an exponential pile. The program may also be used to produce only end or harmonic corrections. The third possible use has as end product the normalized values of thermal flux computed from vertical traverse data. (M.C.G.) BHT3 is a means of rapidiy performing calculations of steam generator heat transfer performance in which boiling occurs on the outer surface of tubes and forced convection occurs on the inside. Further, it only applies to steam generators which can be adequately described by an average tube representation. Primary loop average temperature, loop weight flow, and fraction of nominal heat rate are program input, along with nominal heat rate, primary pressure, steam generator diameter, tube diameter, and length and number of tubes. The following temperatures are program output: secondary steam saturation temperature, hot leg temperature, cold leg temperature, and DELTA T. (auth)
