Flow Stagnation under Single and Two-Phase Natural Circulation Conditions in the APEX-CE Test Facility

Natural circulation experiments were conducted at Oregon State University using the advanced plant experiment (APEX-CE) integral system test facility as configured to simulate a typical 2×4 Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply system. This paper describes the mechanisms by which natural circ...

description Natural circulation experiments were conducted at Oregon State University using the advanced plant experiment (APEX-CE) integral system test facility as configured to simulate a typical 2×4 Combustion Engineering nuclear steam supply system. This paper describes the mechanisms by which natural circulation flow was interrupted under single-phase and two-phase natural circulation conditions in APEX-CE.
