A Theoretical Study of the Transient Operation and Stability of Two-Phase Natural Circulation Loops

Description: Mathematical models of the time-dependent behavior of two-phase natural- circulation loops were used to predict the operation and to explain the unusual instability sometimes observed. The initial results obtained for a loop similar to the Univ. of Minnesota loop were used to formulate a more complex and accurate model, and the predicted transient behavior was in close agreement with the experimental results from the Minnesota loop. For a 300psia, high-pressure loop, unstable oscillatory behavi… more

The Transient Behavior of Single-Phase Natural Circulation Water Loop Systems

Description: Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing single-phase water loop systems. As stated in the introduction, "the principal objective of this study was to determine the reliability of the calculations based upon numerical solutions of finite-difference energy and flow equations" (p. 9). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.
