Experimental investigation of flow transient critical heat flux at light water reactor conditions

Journal Article Lee, Chienhsiung ; Lin, Kuowei

An experimental investigation of flow transient critical heat flux (CHF) for water at pressures 6.9 and 15.5 MPa is conducted under the simulation of both Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) and Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) conditions. The influence of flow decay rates on local mass velocity and quality at CHF is explored to ensure the adequacy of local-condition approach in the CHF predictions. The assessment of transient upstream correction factor to modify the predictions of steady-state CHF correlations during the BWR flow transients are presented. A mechanistic CHF model based on the dryout of a sublayer and CHF correlations are evaluatedmore »« less
Correlation of critical heat flux data for application to boiling water reactor conditions. Final report

Technical Report Hench, J E ; Gillis, J C

A study was conducted of publicly available multirod critical heat flux (CHF) data to generate a correlation which may be used to predict the limits of nucleate boiling in a boiling water reactor. A critical quality-boiling length correlation was generated which includes the effects of rod-to-rod (local) peaking factor, different axial heat flux profiles, pressure, rod diameter and bundle geometry. The CHF data base for this correlation is primarily 16-rod, with heated lengths up to 12 feet, with axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux, in a pressure range from 600 to 1400 psia, and a mass velocity range from 0.25more »« less
In-situ Condition Monitoring of Components in Small Modular Reactors Using Process and Electrical Signature Analysis. Final report, volume 1. Development of experimental flow control loop, data analysis and plant monitoring

Technical Report Upadhyaya, Belle ; Hines, J. Wesley ; Damiano, Brian ; ...

The research and development under this project was focused on the following three major objectives: Objective 1: Identification of critical in-vessel SMR components for remote monitoring and development of their low-order dynamic models, along with a simulation model of an integral pressurized water reactor (iPWR). Objective 2: Development of an experimental flow control loop with motor-driven valves and pumps, incorporating data acquisition and on-line monitoring interface. Objective 3: Development of stationary and transient signal processing methods for electrical signatures, machinery vibration, and for characterizing process variables for equipment monitoring. This objective includes the development of a data analysis toolbox. Themore »« less

AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF HIGH-FLUX FREE CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER TO WATER UP TO NEAR-CRITICAL CONDITIONS

Technical Report Holt, V. E.

An investigation was made to increase the basic knowledge of nucleate and film boiling heat transfer to fluids up to their critical pressures. An extensive literature survey of the subject indicated a scarcity of consistent data and an absence of proven methods for analysis. This situation led to the design and construction of experimental apparatus suitable for measuring rates of free convection heat transfer and associated temperature differences for fluid conditions up to 4000 psi and 800 deg F, with provision for visual observation. The apparatus incorporated a stainless steel system for containing the fluid. Ten-mil-diameter cylindrical and 1/8-in.-high vertical-platemore »« less
