Numerical study on correlation of heat transfer coefficient with void fraction at heat transfer tube surface in sodium water reaction

Matsumoto, Toshinori*; Takata, Takashi*; Yamaguchi, Akira*; Kurihara, Akikazu ; Ohshima, Hiroyuki

When a heat transfer tube fails in steam generator (SG) of sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), sodium-water reaction (SWR) would take place. It is significant for estimation of the heat transfer from the fluid to the tube wall during SWR region to evaluate the possibility of the secondary tube failure in case of overheating rupture. In the present study, thermal hydraulics simulation of the fluid around the tube is conducted. The heat transfer coefficient is computed, the correlation diagram between the heat transfer coefficient and the void fraction has been obtained. The void fraction around the heat transfer tube in the SWR has been evaluated.
