Description

The author has studied the two-phases flow instabilities of the helical tubes of once-through steam generator. Using liner-frequency-domain analytical method, the authors have derived out a mathematical model and designed the program. In this model, the authors also have considered the thermal dynamic characteristics of the tube's wall. The program is used to calculate the threshold of the stability and the influences of some factors, such as entrance throttling coefficient, system pressure, entrance supercooling degree, et al. The outcomes are compared with other studies
