PWR blowdown heat transfer separate-effects program. Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility experimental data report for test 155

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5611752

Reduced instrument responses are presented for Thermal-Hydraulic Test Facility (THTF) test 155, which is part of the ORNL Pressurized-Water Reactor (PWR) Blowdown Heat Transfer Separate-Effects Program. The objective of the program is to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomenon governing the energy transfer and transport processes that occur during a loss-of-coolant accidnet in a PWR system. Test 155 was conduced to obtain thermal-hydraulic and CHF information in the THTF bundle 1 operating at a low power containing four unpowered rods with low outlet subcooling. The primary purpose of this report is to make the reduced instrument responses during test 155 available. The responses are presented in graphical form in engineering units and have been analyzed only to the extent necessary to assure reasonableness and consistency.
