The subchannel of a research reactor used to generate high power density is designed be narrow and rectangular comprises plate-type fuels operating under downward flow conditions. Critical heat flux (CHF) crucial parameter for estimating the safety nuclear fuel; hence, this should accurately predicted. Here, machine learning applied prediction CHF in channel. Although can effectively analyze large amounts complex data, its application CHF, particularly channels, remains challenging because...
A condensation heat transfer model is essential to accurately predict the performance of passive containment cooling system (PCCS) during an accident in advanced light water reactor. However, most existing models tend very well for a specific range thermal-hydraulic conditions. In this study, new correlation coefficient (HTC) presented using machine learning technique. To secure sufficient training data, large number pseudo data were produced by ten models. Then, neural network was...
In a multidimensional two-phase flow analysis, bubble size significantly affects interfacial transfer terms such as mass, momentum, and energy. With regard to bubbly flow, the application of simple correlation-type model presents certain advantages, including short calculation times ease usage. this study, we propose semi-theoretical correlation developed from steady state number density transport equation for predicting distribution local using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. The...
Owing to spatial effects and vortex flow, flow in research reactors that use plate-type fuels can be maldistributed the parallel channels of core, which significantly impacts reactor safety.
