COMPARE performs transient calculation of the thermodynamic conditions in volumes connected by flowing junctions with provision for mass and energy addition. Volume thermodynamics and junction flows are for homogeneous mixtures of: steam, two-phase water, any three perfect gases, or combinations of the above. Critical vent flow is based on the Moody equation. Subcritical flow is based on compressible orifice flow of an ideal gas-like mixture with inlet and exit losses resulting in a polytropic flow process. Flow with inertia is calculated on the basis of an incompressible subelement relationship. The program was written to perform transient subcompartment analysis of nuclear power plants.CDC6600,7600;IBM360,370; FORTRAN IV; SCOPE 3.4 (CDC6600), SCOPE 2.1 (CDC7600), OS/360,370 (IBM360,370); 35,000 (octal) words (CDC6600,7600) or 125K bytes (IBM360,370).
