Flow network calculation code for heat, mass and momentum transfer in a multicomponent gas mixture flow with graphite chemical reactions

Abstract

A flow network calculation code was developed to predict the thermo-hydraulic characteristics during a primary-cooling-pipe rupture accident in a high temperature gas cooled reactor such as the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR). The present calculation code deals with a natural convection of a multicomponent gas mixture (helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) with graphite chemical reactions. One dimensional conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy for the gas mixture and equations of mass for gas species were solved by using a flow network model in the code. The calculation was performed for a flow channel system of an experimental apparatus simply simulating the cooling channels of the HTTR. The whole configuration of the flow channel is a reverse U shape, and the one vertical side of the reverse U shape consists of three parallel channels. Two of these channels are graphite ones. The entering flow rate, flow rates distributed to the parallel channels, generation volume of monoxide and corrosion volume of the graphite could be calculated by the code. (author).
