Experimental study of differences in DNB heat flux between upflow and downflow in vertical rectangular channel.

抄録

Experiments were carried out on DNB (Departure from Nucleate Boiling) heat flux for both upflow and downflow in a rectangular vertical channel simulating a subchannel in the fuel element of the research reactor JRR-3, which is scheduled to be upgraded at 20 MWt with 20% low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The experiments were carried out for the conditions of pressure and velocity which are important for the safety design of the JRR-3. With the investigation of the data of the present experiment along with already existing data for both rectangular channels and other channels, a scheme of DNB heat flux correlations was obtained for upflow and downflow. With the all available data, the errors of the cor-relations adopted in this scheme were so evaluated as to utilize these results in the safety analysis of the JRR-3. This scheme includes a new correlation of DNB heat flux for upflow and the identification of a region of high coolant flow rate where no remarkable differences in the DNB heat flux are observed between upflow and downflow. This scheme is considered to be applicable not only to the rectangular channels of the JRR-3 but also to other channels.
