Preliminary experimental validation of multi-loop natural circulation model based on RELAP5/SCDAPSIM/MOD 4.0

Passive safety systems mostly working on the principles of natural circulation are given much priority in increasing the reliability of reactors’ inherent safety features. In view of this, many researchers carry out numerical and experimental studies in single-loop natural circulation model to study the natural circulation behaviors. In the present study, the experimental loop consists of three loops; two of which operate on natural circulation...
