Abstract
Abstract
Passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) was the key equipment to ensure the inherent safety of the fourth generation of nuclear reactors, which can effectively reduce the probability of core meltdown in the event of an accident. A multi-physics coupling model of sodium cooled fast reactor PRHRS was established in this paper, which based on the natural circulation characteristics of PRHRS. The model was analytically calculated according to the flow balance and energy balance, and finally the model was dynamically balanced. The influence of the tube spacing of the serpentine finned tube and the opening area of the air door on the thermal behavior of the system was analyzed through PRHRS model, and the optimal design method of the air heat exchanger (AHX) of PRHRS was mastered. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the rational design of the air heat exchanger and the safe operation of the sodium cooled fast reactor PRHRS.
