Effect of Initial Conditions and Depressurization on Lock Exchange Flow After a Depressurized Conduction Cool-Down Event in the High Temperature Test Facility

Creator:: Glass, Molly
Abstract:: The High Temperature Test Facility (HTTF) is an electrically heated, scaled model of a Modular High Temperature Gas Reactor (MHTGR). Five experiments were conducted to study Depressurized Conduction Cool-Down phenomena stemming from a Double-Ended Guillotine Break (DEGB). After a DEGB, the reactor pressure vessel would depressurize until the pressures are...
