垂直円管内強制対流サブクール沸騰におけるCHF発生機構の解析（軸方向非一様加熱条件におけるDNB熱流束予測手法の構築と評価）

抄録

From the viewpoint of safety design of nuclear reactor and economic terms, for PWR, it is important to clear the mechanism of DNB and predict accurately the critical heat flux under vertical subcooled flow boiling condition. So, in this research, a prediction model of the CHF under vertical subcooled flow boiling condition was developed. The model is based on the vapor blanket mechanism and the homogeneous nucleation mechanism. Additionally, the model accounts for a new phenomenon called in this research as overheating phenomenon of the heated surface. The method was evaluated by comparing the prediction results with experimental data for a vertical circular tube under high pressure, subcooled flow boiling and non-uniform axial heat flux condition. It was found from the evaluation results that the method developed in this research was able to predict accurately both of the CHF and the CHF location.
