Creator:: Bukar, Kyari Abba
Abstract:: Several computer codes based on one and two-group diffusion theory models were developed for SHUFFLE. The programs were developed to calculate power distributions in a two-dimensional quarter core geometry of a pressurized power reactor. The various coarse-mesh numerical computations for the power calculations yield the following: the Borresen's scheme applied...

Creator:: Ma, Chang Chun
Abstract:: Steam interfacial condensation in a core makeup tank was simulated using the code RELAP5/MOD3 version 8.0 to predict the violent pressure oscillation phenomena in a core makeup tank. Six base cases were carried out to study the effects of back pressure and of vacuum conditions produced in the core makeup...

Creator:: Wachs, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The phenomena of interest in this work is the thermal stratification which occurs during the early stages of a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the OSU APEX Thermal Hydraulic Test Facility, which is a scaled model of the Westinghouse AP600 nuclear power plant. Thermal stratification has been linked to...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: computer program called COMMIX (3,4,7,8). COMMIX is a general purpose, three- dimensional single-phase

Creator:: Harmon, Paul L.
Abstract:: Mechanical vibrations compromise the integrity of key components of thermal power plants. Without careful design, strong resonances during steady state operation can wear these components to the point of failure, leading to an unsafe situation that may force a plant to shut down. The purpose of this research is to...
