Presentation: Steam Condensation Scaled Experiment in the Presence of Non-condensable Gas for Reactor Containment Passive Safety Analysis
This study presents scaled experiments using steam condensation with non-condensable gas (NCG)—helium, simulating hydrogen—as these experiments are pivotal for water-cooled reactor passive containment cooling system (PCCS) design and analysis. Research into PCCSs for small modular reactors (SMRs) is especially important in light of SMR system design; however, studies in the literature reflect limitations due to […]
Presentation: Reactor Containment Passive Safety Analysis: Steam Condensation in Presence of Non-condensable Gas Scaled Experiment and Modeling
This study presents steam condensation scaled experiments and semi-empirical models in presence of nitrogen–a noncondensable gas (NCG), simulating air in the reactor containment–to support water-cooled small modular reactors (SMRs) passive containment cooling system (PCCS) design and analysis. Previous experimental studies on PCCS are focused on fixed and smaller tube (mostly 2-in.) geometries and specific test […]

Presentation: Evaluating scaling effects of steam condensation physics-based model for small modular reactors safety
This study focused on assessing condensation heat transfer (CHT) models for enhancing the passive safety of small modular reactors (SMRs). It also encompassed a review of the theoretical and semi-theoretical CHT models and correlations. Condensation models such as the degradation factor, heat and mass transfer analogy (HMTA), and boundary layer models are used to study […]
