Experimental observations of natural circulation flow in the NSTF

Journal Article Lisowski, Darius D. ; Kraus, Adam R. ; Bucknor, Matthew D. ; ... - Nuclear Engineering and Design

A 1/2 scale test facility has been constructed at Argonne National Laboratory to study the heat removal performance and natural circulation flow patterns in a Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS). Our test facility, the Natural convection Shutdown heat removal Test Facility (NSTF), supports the broader goal of developing an inherently safe and fully passive ex-vessel decay heat removal for advanced reactor designs. The project, initiated in 2010 to support the Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART), Small Modular Reactor (SMR), and Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) programs, has been conducting experimental operations since early 2014. The following paper provides a summary ofmore »« less

Experimental Investigation of Natural-Circulation Flow Behavior Under Low-Power/Low-Pressure Conditions in the Large-Scale PANDA Facility

Journal Article Auban, Olivier ; Paladino, Domenico ; Zboray, Robert - Nuclear Technology

Twenty-five tests have been carried out in the large-scale thermal-hydraulic facility PANDA to investigate natural-circulation and stability behavior under low-pressure/low-power conditions, when void flashing might play an important role. This work, which extends the current experimental database to a large geometric scale, is of interest notably with regard to the start-up procedures in natural-circulation-cooled boiling water reactors. It should help the understanding of the physical phenomena that may cause flow instability in such conditions and can be used for validation of thermal-hydraulics system codes. The tests were performed at a constant power, balanced by a specific condenser heat removal capacity.more »« less
Experimental Study of Two-Phase Flow Oscillation in Natural Circulation

Journal Article Jiang, S Y ; Wu, X X ; Zhang, Y J - Nuclear Science and Engineering

The experiment was performed on the test loop HRTL-5, which simulates the geometry and system design of the 5-MW nuclear heating reactor developed by the Institute of Nuclear Energy Technology, Tsinghua University. The flow behavior for a wide range of inlet subcoolings, in which the flow experience varies from single- to two-phase, is described in a natural circulation system at different pressures (p = 0.1, 0.24, and 1.5 MPa). Several kinds of flow instability are investigated, including geysering, flashing-related flow instability, and high-frequency flow oscillation at p = 0.1 and 0.24 MPa, as well as low steam quality density wavemore »« less
