Power channel

Fast burn-out, Fig. 4A, occurs when the temperature rise is very rapid, for example, less than one second elapsing between the initiation of burn-out and the time at which the metal temperature becomes dangerously high. Unless the channel power is quickly interrupted, a fast burn-out will usually result in physical burn-out. Lee and Obertelli (L4) report having examined a large number of instrument traces to see whether fast burn-out could be associated with any particular ranges of flow velocity, pressure, or quality at the burn-out point, but no generalization could be made. However, it does appear that in the case of water, fast burn-out is nearly always associated with subcooled or low-quality conditions at burn-out. 

The worst operating condition in a common design practice consists of overly conservative assumptions on the hot-channel input. These assumptions must be realistically evaluated in a subchannel analysis by the help of in-core instrumentation measurements. In the early subchannel analysis codes, the core inlet flow conditions and the axial power distribution were preselected off-line, and the most conservative values were used as inputs to the code calculations. In more recent, improved codes, the operating margin is calculated on-line, and the hot-channel power distributions are calculated by using ex-core neutron detector signals for core control. Thus the state parameters (e.g., core power, core inlet temper-... 

To show the power level difference between the predicted DNB heat flux and the measured local DNB heat flux, the latter was taken at the axial location to give the minimum DNB ratio (DNBR) at the actual DNB power instead of that at the actual DNB location. However, the correct ratio of measured to predicted channel powers was maintained equal to the ratio of the heat fluxes, as shown in Figure 5.71. That is,... 

The power section in this electronic load will be a N-channel power MOSFET. This design uses an IRF250, manufactured by International Rectifier . If a substitute part is used, pick a MOSFET that has the power, drain-to-source voltage, and current rating required for your range, and try to minimize drain-to-source on resistance (RDSon). The schematic of the power MOSFET and drive circuitry is shown in Fig. 5.1.

Channel power structure. To fall within the scope of this review, a model must represent the perspectives of multiple independent decision makers. The selection of the distribution strategy obviously depends on which party is making the decision, which is a statement of relative power. Indeed, this will determine how channel conflict will be ultimately resolved. Assumptions about the relative power of the parties are also embedded in the decision structure of the model. 

Superscripts I, T and D will denote vertically integrated, vertically disintegrated (traditional), and drop-shipping supply chains, correspondingly. Further, we will consider three drop-shipping models. In Model DW the wholesaler has channel power, in Model DR the retailer has channel power, and in Model DN the players have equal power. We also assume the following quite general form of the demand distribution ... 

Selected safety/relief valves are associated with the automatic depressurization of the primary system under assumed LOCA conditions. These valves have two independent logic channels powered from different power sources, either of which can initiate depressurization. Valves open automatically and remain open imtil the pressiue falls to a preset closure pressure. These valves open automatically upon signals of high drywell pressure and low reactor water level and confirmation of one LPCI function of the RHR system or LPCS system running. Initiation signals need not be simultaneous. The valves remain open until the primary system pressure is reduced to a point where the LPCI function of the RHR system and/or the LPCS system can adequately cool the core. The initiation of automatic depressurization is delayed from 90 to 120 s to allow the operator to terminate the initiation should the HPCS system initiation and acceptable reactor vessel level have been confirmed.
