Dimensional analysis of boiling heat transfer burnout conditions

Creators

  • 1. Univ of Zagazig, Egypt

Description

The first criteria in boiling water systems design, such as boiling water reactors, is that no burnout in the core is allowed to exist under any conditions of the reactor operation either during steady state operation or during any of the several postulated accidental transients, such as sudden interruption of coolant flow in the reactor core (due to pump failure or blockage of fuel channel). The aim of the present work is to obtain a correlation for the critical heat flux based on a theoretical study where the mechanism of burn out and the related hydrodynamic and heat transfer equations are considered. 8 refs
