Abstract In this paper, the interfacial flow structure of subcooled water boiling in a subchannel 3 × rod bundles is presented. The 9 rods are positioned quadrangular assembly with diameter 8.2mm and pitch distance 16.6 mm. Local void fraction, area concentration, velocity, Sauter mean diameter, liquid velocity have been measured using conductivity probe Pitot tube 20 locations inside one subchannels. A total 53 conditions considered experimental dataset at atmospheric pressure mass rate,...
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...
The thermal-hydraulic integral effect test (IET) program is being progressed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. This paper presents an overview of IET program; scientific design characteristics facility; ATLAS, which under construction; and experimental analytical validation works. ATLAS facility has following characteristics: (a) a 1/2-height, 1/288-volume, full-pressure simulation APR1400, (b) geometrical similarity with including 2 (hot legs) × 4 (cold reactor coolant loops,...
We have developed a heat transfer correlation for saturated flow boiling of water in helically coiled tube. Initially, we collected experimental data encompassing broad spectrum thermal-hydraulic conditions and geometric configurations, examined the influences key dimensionless parameters, such as convection number number. The analysis showed that observed trend aligns with previous studies on within straight Also, investigated influence centrifugal force acting fluid tube confirmed its...
As passive safety features for nuclear power plants receive increasing attention, various studies have been conducted to develop systems 3rd-generation (GEN-III) that are driven by systems. The Passive Auxiliary Feedwater System (PAFS) is one of several being designed the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+), and extensive complete its design verify feasibility. Because PAFS removes decay heat from reactor core under transient accident conditions, it necessary evaluate removal capability...
