Abstract:Scaled down thermal-hydraulic test facility is widely used in the nuclear reactor safety analysis. The wall stored energy is one of the common problem in a scaled down test facility, which will cause distortions in the simulation of the transients or local phenomena. For the natural-circulation mode in the Core Makeup Tank (CMT), the cold wall will work as heat sink and absorb heat from the heated water, and then has an influence in energy balance on the simulation of the prototype phenomena with scaled down t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
