In this study a method has been demonstrated by which
the departure from nucleate boiling ratio (DNBR) can be
readily determined for nuclear transients through application
of the COBRA-IIIC/MIT computer code. For input,
boundary conditions were specified relating the time-dependent
variations of core inlet coolant temperature,
system pressure, core heat...
This study evaluates the feasibility of retrofitting a rotary
dryer to a hog fuel boiler, using the boiler exhaust gases as the
drying medium.
Two simulation models were developed. As substantiated by experimental
measurement of existing boiler/dryer systems, each model
accurately predicts system performance given site-specific parameters
such as boiler...
