Dynamic response analysis of tube array in partially filled calandria

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 1999
An efficient procedure is presented for dynamic response analysis of horizontal tube array in partially filled calandria including hydrodynamic interaction effects. The procedure is general enough to consider the transfer of energy between the fluid-coupled tubes, and effects of moderator sloshing on the magnitude and the distribution of hydrodynamic ...

Thermal and Electrical Conductance of Pressure Tube/Calandria Tube Interface

open access: yesASME 2020 Heat Transfer Summer Conference, 2020
Abstract In some engineered systems, the interface thermal conductance is a key parameter that governs the heat transfer behaviour of components in solid-solid contact. For example, in certain postulated accident scenarios for CANDU reactors, the pressure tube (PT) may deform into contact with the calandria tube (CT) to form a more ...

Properties of a Candu Calandria Tube

Canadian Metallurgical Quarterly, 1985
AbstractWe have destructively examined the Zircaloy-2 calandria tube which surrounded a pressure tube that ruptured in Pickering Unit 2 Nuclear Generating Station. The calandria tube was in excellent condition and had sustained little damage. The material was hardened by neutron irradiation.

Evaluation of Concentric Tube Model for Pressure Tube to Calandria Tube Gap Measurement

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2019
The CANDU® nuclear reactor fuel channels consist of a pressure tube (PT) contained within a calandria tube (CT). The gap between the hot (~300° C) PT and cooler (~50° C) CT is required since the contact could lead to hydride blister formation with subsequent cracking.

Anatomy of the Calandria Tube Rolled Joint

open access: yesVolume 2: Computer Applications/Technology and Bolted Joints, 2007
In CANDU™ (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) Reactors, the joint between the Calandria tubes to the Calandria tubesheets is achieved by roller expanded joints. This paper models a detailed account of the Calandria tube joint fabrication and deformation.

On the thermal analysis of pressure tube/calandria tube contact in CANDU reactors

Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1987
Abstract Under abnormal conditions contact between a pressure tube and the surrounding calandria tube in the core of a CANDU reactor may take place. The resulting temperature field may adversely affect the hydrogen diffusion characteristics in the pressure tube material.

Structural response of calandria tube to a spontaneous rupture of the pressure tube

International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, 1988
Abstract The primary function of calandria tubes in a CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) pressurized heavy water reactor is to minimize the heat loss from the heat transport system to the cool moderator by providing an insulating gas annulus. Circulation of an inert gas in the annulus also provides an effective leak detection capability. During certain
