To investigate the thermalhydraulic characteristics of advanced accumulation tank
the mathematical models
including the conservation equations
heat transfer model
mass transfer model and the damper model
are established. The calculation module of advanced accumulation tank is developed and embedded into the RELAP5/MOD3.3 code. By comparing the simulation results of the modified RELAP5 with those of a CFD analysis
the rationality of the models and solution methods is validated. The thermalhydraulic characteristics and the parameter sensitivity analyses of an advanced accumulation tank are performed with the modified code. It is found that the parameter variation trends are reasonable and the transition from large flow phase to small flow phase can be achieved by the advanced accumulation tank; large damper diameter leads to a small exit mass flow rate in the small flow phase; a small initial volume ratio of water to nitrogen leads to a large exit mass flow rate; and a large form loss coefficient of the stand pipe may result in a small exit mass flow rate in the large flow phase when the form loss coefficient varies in a certain range. The present study could provide a theoretical basis for the design and experimental investigation on the advanced accumulation tank.
