Thermohydraulics tests in mock-up of nuclear fuel

  • 1. Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear, Belo Horizonte (Brazil)

Description

The main experimental works performed in the Thermohydraulics Laboratory of the NUCLEBRAS Nuclear Technology Development Center, in the field of thermofluodynamics are briefly described. These works include the performing of steady-state flow tests in single tube test sections, and the design and construction of a rod bundle test section, which will be also used for those kind of tests. Mention is made of the works to be performed in the near future, related to steady-state and transient flow tests. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Descrevem-se de forma sumaria os principais trabalhos experimentais ja realizados, na area de termofluodinamica, no Laboratorio de Termohidraulica do Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear, da NUCLEBRAS. Estes trabalhos incluem a realizacao de testes em regime estacionario utilizando secoes de testes tubulares, e o projeto e construcao de uma secao de testes em feixe, tambem destinada a testes desta natureza. E feita referencia aos trabalhos a se realizarem em futuro proximo, relativos a testes em regimes permanente e transitorio. (Autor)
