This 5-day course provides participants with a thorough understanding of methods applied to the entire thermal-hydraulic (T/H) design process. Lectures and discussions focus on core hydraulics, core component analysis, Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) correlations and methods, setting and verifying core operational DNBR limits, T/H computer models, accident analysis, and reload methodology.
The Key Feature and Benefit associated with this Thermal-Hydraulic Design Methods course is that each course segment includes a complete discussion of the design requirements, codes, procedures, interfaces, and analytical methods used for thermal-hydraulic design.
