Abstract:The natural circulation helium loop is a facility designed for decay heat removal from ALLEGRO fast nuclear reactors. The article deals with the observation of pressure and velocity relations during steady flow of helium. A one-dimensional numerical model of flow capable of determining the velocity with sufficient accuracy is presented in the article. The model describes the flow of highly compressed gaseous medium with variable density in direct pipelines with local resistances. It’s a hydraulic model, which … Show more
