Validation of Pressure Drop Models for PHWR-type Fuel Elements

  • 1. Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Centro Atomico Barioloche, San Carlos de Bariloche (Argentina)

Description

In the present work an one-dimensional pressure drop analytical model and the COBRA code, are validated with experimental data of CANDU and Atucha fuel bundles in low and high pressure experimental test loops.Models have very good agreement with the experimental data, having less than 5 % of discrepancy. The analytical model results were compared with COBRA code results, having small difference between them in a wide range of pressure, temperature and mass flow
