Description
The present paper deals with a methodology to predict decay heat removal capability through natural circulation in a liquid metal-cooled fast breeder reactor (FBR) in both experimental and computational methods. Systematic discussion is given to derive suitable similitude conditions for an experiment of a scaled water model. The validity of the derived similitude conditions is estimated by comparing experimentally predicted values with computed values of typical physical quantities such as temperature and flow rate. The results show that the experimental prediction is of practical use in FBR designs as well as the computational one. (author)
