Modeling of U-Tube Steam Generator

Abstract

In this paper a numerical model for U-tube steam generator of a nuclear power station 700 MWe is evolved. The reactor analysis code RELAP5 is used as a tool for this purpose. The evolved model is benchmarked with the available experimental data from Bugey-4 steam generator. Subsequently, the results obtained for 540 MWe steam generator would be compared with the numerical data from BHEL. Finally, using this code, parametric trends would be generated for the proposed 700 MWe steam generator.
