technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a pressurized water reactor rod bundle fuel assembly simulation device, in particular to a low voltage and high power pressurized water reactor fuel assembly simulation device. Background technique
[0002] A number of steady-state thermal design criteria are specified in the reactor design, including that the outer wall of the fuel element does not allow boiling criticality; in the steady-state rated conditions and expected transient operating conditions, no flow instability occurs . Therefore, in reactor design, critical heat flux and flow instability experiments need to be carried out to obtain critical heat flux values โโand stable operating boundaries under different operating conditions to verify the thermal safety performance of the reactor.
[0003] PWR fuel assemblies are generally composed of fuel rods with a diameter of 10mm arranged in a square of 15ร15 or 17ร17. The heat source is the energy generated by the fissi...
