Steam Condensation Heat Transfer in the Presence of Noncondensable Gases (NCGs) in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs): A Comprehensive Review of Fundamentals, Current Status, and Prospects for Future Research

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Efficient steam condensation is crucial for safe nuclear power plant (NPP) operations, preventing pressure buildup, overheating, and the release of radioactive materials. However, the presence of noncondensable gases (NCGs), such as air, nitrogen, hydrogen, or helium, can hinder the condensation process by creating a thermal resistance layer that ...
