An investigative approach to study the RETRAN modeling concepts in the analysis of a safety valve discharge transient

Creator:

Youssefnia, Mohammad Hossein

Abstract:

This study focuses on investigation of the RETRAN modeling concepts in the analysis of a safety valve discharge transient. Three safety valve tests conducted at the Combustion Engineering test facility were chosen for evaluation with RETRAN. It was essential to apply the critical flow boundary condition at the downstream nodes...

Modeling transient thermalhydraulic behavior of a thermionic fuel element for nuclear space reactors

Creator:

Al-Kheliewi, Abdullah S.

Abstract:

A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed. It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power, electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the TFE as a function of time as well as...
