[en] This paper presents an outline of the PRTHRUST-J1 code for calculating blowdown thrust force and gives two numerical expamples to show the effectiveness of this code. One numerical example is the problem of saturated steam blowdown. The blowdown thrust forces obtained from the PRTHRUST-J1 code were compared with those of the simplified method of Moody. Fairly good agreement was found between these two results. The other numerical example is the problem of jet discharging tests with stop valve performed in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. Analysis was carried out by varying the discharge coefficient. The analytical blowdown thrust force and pressure in the discharging nozzle were compared with experimental results. Qualitative agreement was found between the analytical and experimental results of the blowdown thrust force. Generally speaking, the blowdown thrust forces obtained from the experiment were between the analytical results for discharge coefficients of 1.0 and 0.6. (orig.)
