Description

The 1995 HF table for uniformly heated round tubes, developed jointly by canadian and Russian researchers, has been used for the prediction of critical heat (HF) in 5x5 test sections simulating fuel elements of pressurized water reactors. Comparisons between measured and calculated HF indicates that the table with an appropriate diameter correction can be applied to rod bundles of the type considered in this study. The relation for the diameter correction factor was derived from the HF data. The tolerance limits associated with the departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) are evaluated by using statistical analysis. (author)
