| Abstract | The Oregon State University Multi-Application Small Light Water Reactor test facility is employed in a series tests to evaluate condensation heat transfer in small, high pressure containment vessels characteristic of small modular reactor designs under development. This integral system test facility was constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of a pioneering SMR design and features a scaled containment vessel and cooling pool heat sink. The tests performed involve supplying steam into the containment and observing the condensation rates occurring on the heat transfer surface. The test data is reduced to quantify condensation heat transfer rates and heat transfer coefficients. Particular attention is paid to the influence of system pressure and noncondensable gas inventory. |
