STGEN computer program methodology and application to the steam line break tests in the RD-12 steam generator
Abstract
A computer model for calculating a U-tube stream generator response to a main stream line break accident is presented. The stream generator is nodalized into three regions: riser, steam drum, and downcomer. Mass and pressure (temperature) are the main state variables representing each region. Models for steam drum swelling, tube bundle heat transfer, liquid subcooling, void fraction distribution and two-phase flow in the various flow …
