- Abstract
- Several piping failures caused by thermal stratification have been reported in some nuclear power plants since the early 1980s. However, this kind of thermal effect was not considered when the old vintage nuclear power plants were designed. Thermal stratification is usually generated by turbulent penetration from the RCS to branch line or leakage through damaged part of valve in branch line. In this paper, using the CFD analysis, characteristics of thermal stratification in a safety injection system of PWR plant were investigated and thermal stress evaluation was also conducted. First, CFD analyses were carried out on in-leakage model and out-leakage model according to operating condition. The case of outleakage, the thermal stratification based on temperature distribution was generated a little at the rear of 1st valve. In contrast, significant thermal stratification was generated in front of 1 st valve in in-leakage model because the effect of rapid flow velocity from RCS. © 2011 by ASME.
