Description

Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is an important physical phenomenon in PWR. Time to crisis CHF (tCHF) determines the time to start reactor safety system when LOCA occurs in PWR. The transients CHF and tCHF by using simulating blowdown of small break LOCA in PWR are studied and the quantitative results are given. The experiment parameters as follows: P = 0.7 ∼ 2.2 MPa; ΔTsub = 50 ∼ 120 degree C; G = 1750 ∼ 2800 kg/m2s; q = 0.3 ∼ 1 x 106 W/m2
