As part of the work supported by a US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear FY 2020 Voucher, Holtec International subsidiary SMR LLC (hereinafter referred to as Holtec) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory entered into a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) to develop coupled multiphysics core models of the Holtec developed small modular reactor (SMR), SMR-160. The scope of the 1 year project was to use the DOE–developed tool set, VERA, to analyze several aspects of a representative SMR-160 core design.

Flow instability and CHF in a natural circulation loop at low pressure

Book Dougherty, T J ; Yang, B W

Data and correlations for the Onset of Flow Instability (OFI) and Critical Heat Flux (CHF) at low pressure (less than 30 bar) are reviewed, with particular emphasis on results obtained in this laboratory during the past six years for flow in tubes, channels, and annuli. These results are applied to the problems of flow instability and CHF in natural circulation loops. A simple, one-dimensional, non-equilibrium, homogeneous flow model (no slip), based on a novel rate equation for net steam generation, is shown to provide a relatively simple overview of conditions necessary for steady-state natural circulation. Critical heat flux is predictedmore »« less
Experimental study of flow instability and CHF in a natural circulation system with subcooled boiling

Conference Yang, R C ; Shi, D Q ; Lu, Z Q ; ...

Experimental study has been performed to investigate flow instability and critical heat flux (CHF) in a natural circulation system with subcooled boiling. In the experiments three kinds of heated sections were used. Freon-12 was used as the working medium. The experiments show which one of the two phenomena, flow instability and CHF condition, may first occur in the system depends on not only the heat input power to the heated section and the parameters of the working medium, but also the construction of the heated section. The occurrence of the flow instability mainly depends on the total heat input powermore »« less
