Insurge transients from a surge tank using CSMP

The Continuous System Modeling Program (CSMP) has become a widely used tool in simulation studies of engineering systems. This paper discusses one such application which involves the study of insurge transients from the surge tank of a nuclear reactor. The handling of the problem requires the simultaneous solution of the Fourier heat conduction equation together with an ordinary differential equation which describes the pressure variations in the surge tank. The results from this study are in good agreement with available experimental data. (auth)
