Use of boiling curves to study the thermal behaviour of sodium steam generators

Description

The thermal behavior of sodium heated steam generators is studied based on boiling curves and the concept of thermal stability. A simple model of an evaporator is investigated by two successive methods: the evolution of steady-states when sodium inlet temperature is varied is calculated by the continuation method; then, transients are calculated from an initial to a final state by the dynamic computer code SICLE to confirm the preceding results.
