Description

For the validation of the computational code REKO-DIREKT simulating the operational behaviour of passive autocatalytic recombiners in severe accidents, experiments on chimney flows were performed in cooperation between RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Juelich. This compact describes the experimental setup and shows the correlation between the H2 concentration, the catalyst temperature and the inlet velocity at various recombiner chimney heights. (orig.)
