A GENERALIZED PREDICTION METHOD FOR CRITICAL HEAT FLUX IN CANDU FUEL-BUNDLE STRINGS
Abstract
A generalized prediction method has been derived for critical heat flux (CHF) in CANDU® fuel-bundle strings. It is set up in the form of a look-up table (referred to as the bundle CHF table) and is primarily based on the tube CHF table of Groeneveld et al. (1996). Three correction factors have been introduced to account for (1) the enthalpy imbalance within the bundle, (2) the difference in characteristic diameter of the CANDU bundles from a …
