Calculation of once-through steam generator performance using RELAP5/MOD2

OSTI ID:6995061
Three steam generator performance tests from the Babcock and Wilcox (B and W) 19-tube, once-through steam generator (OTSG) test facility were simulated using RELAP5/MOD2 - cycle 36.10, and the results were compared with the experimental data. RELAP5 predicted the steam generator steady-state performance reasonably well. However, further refinements to the boiling and the post-critical heat flux (CHF) heat transfer would improve the capability to correctly predict OTSG behavior.
