System Transient Analysis

The system pressurization and line switching are analyzed using a system transient analysis code. Since the startup system and procedures are the same between the Super LWR and Super FR, the Super FR is analyzed as an example. The Super FR has higher power density and smaller heat capacity compared to the Super LWR so that the analysis of the Super FR covers that of the Super LWR from the viewpoint of the criteria of the MCST and the rate of increase in the coolant temperature. 

The calculation model is shown in Fig. 5.75. The governing equations, empirical correlations, and algorithm are almost the same as those of the SPRAT-DOWN-SUB code (a safety analysis code for the Super LWR during subcritical pressure 

The results of the system transient analysis after the deaeration (see Sect. 5.7.3.2) are shown in Fig. 5.76. The reactor power is raised to 0.1% of the rated value and 

The startup curves based on the results of the analysis are shown in Fig. 5.77. The condenser pressure and dissolved oxygen level in the reactor are plotted by referring to the startup curves of BWRs. In the system transient analysis, the MCST is also calculated in order to consider the fuel rod integrity during the startup. The MCSTs in the three hot channels are shown in Fig. 5.78. They do not exceed 650°C which is the criterion for the three-dimensional core design (see Chap. 7). 

In this chapter, the plant startup and stability were introduced. Both constant pressure and sliding pressure startup schemes are designed by referring to FPPs. The constant pressure startup system requires a startup bypass system consisting of a flash tank and pressure-reducing valves. The sliding pressure startup scheme

The SSC-K code was used for assessment of the inherent safety features in the KALIMER conceptual design. The SSC-K aims not only at extensive analysis capability and flexibility, but also at sufficiently fast running to simulate long transients in a reasonable amount of computer time. The code is capable of handling a wide range of transients, including normal operational transients, shutdown heat removal transients, and hypothetical ATWS events. The SSC-K code is currently used as the main tool for system transient analysis in the KALIMER development. 

From these two background facts, the purposes of this section are to revise the design of the sliding pressure startup scheme, propose its detailed procedures, and assess their feasibility by a system transient analysis. This section covers just the procedures before the power raising phase because the power raising phase itself...

Especially for the sliding pressure startup scheme, system pressurization and line switching from recirculation to once-through mode were investigated in detail. The feasibility of the system and procedures for them were assessed by a system transient analysis. 

Just as transient analysis of continuous systems may be undertaken in the. v-plane, stability and transient analysis on discrete systems may be conducted in the z-plane. It is possible to map from the. v to the z-plane using the relationship... 

When the merged stream flows through the detector, transient peaks are recorded in proportion to analyte concentration. Excessive dispersion of the sample zone into the carrier stream is reduced by the use of small sample volumes, narrow bore tubing and short residence times in the system. Rapid analysis and easy starting up procedures make this technique particularly useful for single samples which arrive infrequently and require immediate analysis (Table 6.1).

In this account, we will focus on the transient analysis of these systems, which has strongly contributed to a deeper understanding of the diverse reaction modes (Patemo-Buchi, proton abstraction, cycloaddition). In general, aromatic ketones were selected as electron acceptors for reasons of suitable excitation and long wavelength absorption of the radical anion intermediates. Among them, fluorenone 3 is particularly well suited since the concentration, solvent, temperature, and cation radius dependence of the absorption spectra of pairs formed with metal cations are already known [29]. Hogen-Esch and Smid [30, 10] pointed out that a differentiation between CIP and SSIP is possible for fluorenone systems. On the other hand, FRI s and SSIP s cannot be differentiated simply by their UV/Vis absorption spectra, whereas for instance conductance measurements may be successful. However, the portion of free radical ions in fluorenyl salt solutions was shown to be less important [9, 31]... 

A simplified transient analysis model of the sulphur iodine and Westinghouse hybrid sulphur cycle was presented by Brown, et al. (2009). This model is utilised in this paper via coupling to a PBMR-268 model and a simple point kinetics model. Some of the key tenants of the analysis model are summarised however interested readers are referred to the original paper for greater detail. The S-I and HyS analysis model is a control-volume model which treats the chemical plant as a closed system. 

We may now note that this backward-difference formulation does not permit the explicit calculation of the Tp +1 in terms of Tp. Rather, a whole set of equations must be written for the entire nodal system and solved simultaneously to determine the temperatures Tp+. Thus we say that the backward-difference method produces an implicit formulation for the future temperatures in the transient analysis. The solution to the set of equations can be performed with the methods discussed in Chap. 3. 

When discussing diffusion, one inevitably needs to solve diffusion equations. The Laplace transform has proven to be the most effective solution for these differential equations, as it converts them to polynomial equations. The Laplace transform is also a powerful technique for both steady-state and transient analysis of linear time-invariant systems such as electric circuits. It dramatically reduces the complexity of the mathematical calculations required to solve integral and differential equations. Furthermore, it has many other important applications in areas such as physics, control engineering, signal processing, and probability theory. 

When you analyze a transient system, your analysis is not complete unless every differential equation you derive is accompanied by a boundary condition similar to one of those just given.

The ground-state anion of the proton emitter is the straightforward detector for the ejected protons and represents the simplest system for analysis (Forster and Volker, 1975, Gutman etal., 1981). In the absence of other acceptors, the transient increment of H+ concentration (AH+), is identical with the increment of < >0 above its prepulse (equilibrium) concentration (Achemical relaxation, the concentration of the reactants is given as a sum of the equilibrium concentration plus the incremental deviation from equilibrium, which is the time-dependent variable. For the single-component system... 

Chemical relaxation techniques have been employed to study the rates of elementary reaction steps. The two most useful variables for the system control are the concentrations of the reactants and the reactor temperature. The dynamic responses from the system after the changes of these variables are related to the elementary steps of the catalytic processes. Chemical relaxation techniques can be divided into two general groups, which are single cycle transient analysis (SCTA) and multiple cycle transient analysis (MCTA). In SCTA, the reaction system relaxes to a new steady-state and analysis of this transition furnishes information about intermediate species. In MCTA, the system is periodically switched between two steady-states, e.g. by periodically changing the reactant concentration. 

If one constructs the appropriate dimensionless equation that governs the molar density profile fi for component i, then xj/i depends on all the dimensionless independent variables and parameters in the governing equation and its supporting boundary conditions. Geometry also plays a role in the final expression for in each case via the coordinate system that best exploits the summetry of the macroscopic boundaries, but this effect is not as important as the dependence of on the dimensionless numbers in the mass transfer equation and its boundary conditions. For example, if convection, diffusion, and chemical reaction are important rate processes that must be considered, then the governing equation for transient analysis... 

At least, stability in the normal operation and safety in a case of postulated accident should be confirmed by the transient analysis, and also reliability of the system by provability safety analysis. 

A multichannel differentiator was built and installed on individual channels of tha XE octant system. Tha analysis of these data is not complete but they generally show (a) rod motions, (b) considerable 6o cycle noise, and (c) the invalidity of the assumption that the space and time variables in a reactor are separable, at least for the small transients occurring. 

Automatic macromodel extraction that takes advantage of high-fidelity device simulations (e.g., FEM, FVM, and BEM) to extract RLC values in irregular microchannel geometries has also been reported. Turowski et al. [11] approximate the microfluidic Tesla valve as an/ L circuit (serial connection of a resistor R and an inductor L in Fig. 5) and performed both steady and transient analysis to extract its fluidic resistance and inductance. The macromodels are then stitched together for an overall system simulation on the pumping performance.

So far we have analysed the two systems using the Maxwell-Stefan approach the steady state analysis of the Stefan tube and the transient analysis of the Loschmidt s tube, and they are conveniently used to study the diffusion characteristic of the system. Here, we consider another example which is also useful in the determination of diffusion characteristics. This system is the two bulb method, in which a small capillary tube or a bundle of capillaries is bounded by two well-mixed reservoirs as shown in Figure 7.2-3.
